Setup is easy, it's very nice to use. The video up scaling is excellent. When I bought it, I used it with my ProAcs, and was thrilled with the sound - its much nicer than most AVRs, and I have owned quite a few of those. Also, it blows away a lot of stereo amps. Excellent feature set, too. I also find it very pleasing to look at, especially paired with the Marantz gear. Negatives: AirPlay is spotty, iOS app is crap. Expensive, once you add the Amps.
