My SR8002 is my second AVR: I still own my first, which was an SR8200 -- built like a tank and heavy as anything. I loaned it to a friend, who has since given up on HT himself and he's put the AVR in his storage unit for now. Thing is, just as an amp, the SR8200 was simply amazing, so as suggested above, if I ever need a stereo amp someday, I might 'recall' it and use it as such. Having said that my friend did say one of the channels, unfortunately possibly either FL or FR, was wonky. But then again if you're just looking to drive two channels, some workaround is possible, I'm sure.
