I'd second a newer model for the same reason. I've also become a big believer in automatic room EQ and those systems seem to keep improving. I use an Onkyo with Audyssey pro 32XT (it's strictly a 2.2 channel system for music only). I'm not sure if the Sherbourn offers this (it looks like manual EQ only), so that's one think I'd certainly think thru before pulling the trigger on that unit.
