Buying a reciever.

My old stereo receiver went out last week. I went to my favorite electronic store where I always go (You know where they know my name and account number)

I told the sales rep what I wanted.

HDMI Switching
5.1
On Screen programming.

He went straight to the $899 model. I will be honest that there is no way I am spending $900 for this. I let the rep know that it was way out of what I am expecting. Instead of moving to another model or making suggestions he stuck with his guns and lowered the price a bit ($100) but this was still way out of my expectations.

So here I sit without a receiver for the football game. Remember listen to the client. Without that some one else that does will sell it for you.
