I had some issues with the 1070 I had (locking up a couple times) but I went with a 970 ultimately since I wanted separates. The 970 also had lock up issues (which were resolved by Outlaw though!) I sold my 970/7125 combo and went with a low end Onkyo 606 receiver for the short term as a stopgap until the 997 is available since I wanted HDMI capability and Audyssey (and wanted to do it on the cheap!). I can't say I'm thrilled with it's sq for music, but it's pretty good for movies. It's ok for a short term fix, but I really miss the power and presence that the 7125 provides.
