RE: What do you expect?

The functionality is not a real cost issue since they use large scale ASIC's which are not so expensive in high volume. The analog components are much more expensive. A large transformer and buffer capacitors are very expensive. A rule of thumb is that an AV receiver 7.1 channel cost about three times more than a stereo amplifier. The Arcam AVR-600 receiver delivers good performance but cost more than $3000.
