I have a three year old 1050 that is absolutely perfect. Best AV purchase I have ever made. I'll be upgrading soon to the 950/770 combo and will sell my 1050 on Ebay, where they are currently selling for just over $350. If you're interested in my three year old 1050 for $300+shipping, let me know and it's yours. As for other receivers, don't even consider them; buy a 1050.
