Thanks Yetis,

Really appreciate you input on this. I am hoping to demo the RS20i in the coming months. I am interested at your comment about user friendliness etc...it is true that you have to live with these things at the end of the day. One major concern for the RS20i was the fan noise for me. It won't be a deidcated cinema room. It will be for my lounge.

Interesting times... will have to try the V8 too to really see the differences in both HT and music.

Cheers
G
