Low $$ DTS ES reciver question (1 Viewer)

[Matt Sheeler]

Has anyone here demoed the Panasonic sahe200k? I was looking at it because of the price, but I have not been able o here it yet. It is rated at 130x6 with DD, DTS ES, and DPL II. And, I have found it for around $400.00. I was wondering if anyone here had any advice on this reciever.
I currently have an old Technics sagx780 for a reciever and I'ld like to get a new reciever with DD, however I do not have a cash tree in my yard, so money is important.

For $400, you actually have some other choices that will do the formats you list.

Yamaha HTR5560

Pioneer VSX-D811S

Onkyo RS600

The only reason I bring this up is because $400 seems a bit high for that Panasonic receiver.

Have read that the Technics name is being phased out and re-branded as Panasonic models. The SAHE200k is one of those models with a Technics build background.
