    Ahhhh The mighty SC-07, man that was one great receiver. It stayed in my system for years and I loved every single minute of it. I used it as a preamp at first and then took the leap of using the internal amps. I had a Rotel RMB-1095 back then with Dynaudio Audience speakers. I replaced a Rotel RSP-1068 with the SC-07.
    The new SC-LX line I have not messed around with but I will say this, I'm completely unhappy with the flagship model removing the USB DAC. That's what set the SC-68 apart from all other flagship receivers and now Pioneer/Integra decided to remove that feature.
    I currently have the SC-99 and will not upgrade to the SC-LX line. But since the SC-07 there has been some good upgrades to the amp section and overall sound quality I think you will be pleased with.
    It's slighty quieter and more separates like sound then what the SC-07 was. It's an upgrade in sound quality for sure. Not to take anything away from the Mighty SC-07 as I hold that in very high regard. I should have kept mine for my future Museum.

    I love the SC-07, not sure what I'm going to do with it, the only reason I upgraded is I can't get audio out of a 3D blu-ray unless I put it in multi-channel mode, I need something with 3D pass-thru..

    I like the robustness of the SC-07 better, I regret not getting the 99, as far as the USB DAC, I never use it in my HT anyway so that won't be a big deal..

    I was hoping you would chime in Dan, Thanks!!!
