As such, one can't give it a top rating on power to serve a system. Such factors become clearer when one connects a power hungry center channel (like my homespun variety in a series-parallel 4/1, mid/tweeter configuration) or other larger variety speakers for auxiliary channels (my laterals are 14"x8"圆" acoustic research bookshelf speakers, not the typical cutie-pie Bose cigarette boxes). While this was an awesome unit, it was not have the highest power on the market. This unit served a 5.1 system OR a bonus 2 channel stereo setup at 120 watts per channel (the 5.1 array served 100 watts per channel). Today we've evolved to 7.1 (DTS NEO) channels plus enhancement features stacking bonus speakers to 9.1 and 11.1 arrays. With this in mind, i remember Gladiator's release in DTS-ES (6.1) and not being able to make full use of the sound DTS-ES out to 7 channels (6.1). I bought the unit refurbished in either 1999 or 2000 (refurb), for $250, about 2/3rds or less than comparable units of the time. This is a 10-year old unit, and I believe it was first release in the fall of 1999. I've had this unit for just over 10 years, and it has served me well.
