Have your say & ask the experts

Grabbed the 875 myself last week, does the 905 add much?  From the features list I see that it has added media streaming, but only via Windows Media connect, which sucks.  So it's not really a feature.

How're the Quad Lites musically?  I'm looking at pairing them with my 875 but I'd like them to be at least acceptable for music..

For the sake of you who've already bought the 875 - "nothing to see here, carry on".

For anyone else with £800 to spend on an AV receiver - "fill your boots!"!

Yes, it's the cooling that's key.

Still don't understand why you're so worried about the colour (silver or black) if they're going to be out of sight, though  

I got a black one from Richer Sounds last week for £789.99 with a bit of haggling, a good deal for rrp £1400 receiver!

I'm not bothered about the networking as it's hooked up to a Home Theatre PC, but it's worth a bit extra over the 875 because I believe it has seperate power supplies to video and audio.

 Having said that it's not as well built as the Pioner VSX-AX5i it's replacing and the stereo playback isn't as dynamic either, I'll give a bit longer to run in before passing final judgement!
