Sunfire TGR-401 Theater Grand Receiver

I know I’m not the foremost expert when it comes to stereos, but I find it a bit odd that for $4000 you don’t even get the HD codecs with this receiver. That being said, everything else on the unit is apparantly fantastic boasting 200 watts per channel.

The TGR pumps out 200 watts per channel and allows for amplified stereo playback and optional touchpad control of a second zone. It marries tank-like construction with more aesthetic flash than typical receivers (the silver aluminum accent and blue LED status lights are particular eye-catchers). And at $4,000, you’re at the high end of the A/V receiver category, but you’re also in the stratosphere of build quality and performance.
