I bought and returned the Sony 5ES & Yamaha 2200. The denon3802, rotel, marantz7200, Integra 6.2 and others never even made it home. I was upgrading from the Marantz 880 and found the two most musical and clean sounding. The sony doesn't do multi room well and has way too much crap (50dsp modes to fight through) with an overstuffed remote. Rotel just lacks features, same with arcam 200. Denon is older and needs upgraded. The marantz is easy to use with nice features but sounds flat. Integra didn't sound as good as the Sony/JVC and had limited features.
The JVC does everything but make the popcorn! It is qutie hard to use some of the features but very nice. I got mine as a refurbished unit(90 day warranty) for $825. If you are paying full retail, the Outlaw is a nice deal (499).
The only unit that may compare to the JVC is the Onkyo 898 but I doubt it?
Good Luck
