Myki: I have Paradigm Monitor 7v2 for L/R, CC-350 center, Mini Monitors for surround, and an SVS 16-46pci sub. The only complaint that I have with this system is the brightness on the highest end (especially cymbals). I really like the soundstage and up-front nature to go with my warmer Marantz...

Well, it was a bad machine. I took it back to the shop and they reproduced the problems and gave me another new one. I'm happy to report that this one has no problems at all, and setup was a breeze this time. Now I can go back to enjoying this thing instead of fussing with inputs. FWIW, I...
