    IMO, their ES stuff is top notch.

    The Pioneer Elite is also several steps above their consumer line.

    I've a terrible habit of putting EVERYTHING sony does into one big lump sum. One big crappy lump sum. Sorry.

    Agreed, I have that tendency, also.

    I'm of the opinion that if brands such as Pioneer, Sony and Onkyo save their *good* pieces aka "HONEST POWER RATINGS" for their Elite, ES and Integra lines respectively- then that's ****. (with all due respect to their owners.)

    You don't see Marantz, Denon or H/K doing that nonsense.

    the first 702 I got had a dead center channel so off to CC i go to exchange it for another one. Second one works without any issues. The auto calibration seems to work pretty good, i moved it around and it picked up on the difference in feet. I really havent had a chance to use it a whole lot so i cannot give any feed back on it. So far though it sounds good.
