Hi guys!

In the HT system that I am building, I am debating between a Yamaha RX-A2000 and a Marantz SR7005. I am very strongly leaning toward the Yamaha because of the HQV video processing, and I own a Yamaha RX-V663 which I really like. What are your thoughts? (BTW, I'll be using the HT primarily for movies.)

    RX-z7 would be my choice in the Yamaha family...
