The new RXA line is absolutely incredible. But it's total overkill for my 1080i LG TV and my teeny little Bose soundcubes. My Dad has his hooked up to a 62" Samsung plasma and a 7.2 Boston Acoustics sound system. (My Dad likes electronic toys quite a bit.) It's glorious to behold on his system, but it's pretty out of place in mine. The amp I have is currently the strongest link in the system. The weakest link is the TV.

Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end.
