Have to agree on one thing. Receivers today, like those from Rotel, suffer from feature creep, which drive up the cost but don't improve audio quality.
I have the 1069, but lately the only inputs I've been using are HDMI, and since my bluray player and my PC can decode just about every audio format out there and output PCM sound and 1080p video, I don't need most of the features it has, and none of the ones from the 15 series.
I think if Rotel made a receiver with only HDMI, USB and WiFi connectivity, PCM, mp3, aac and flac audio only, and no video processing, they could make a cheaper receiver with a big potential.
