The JVC RX-D702B looks good but some of the review on the CNET link suggest that its got some quality problems and JVC is having a tough time sorting them, especially with the HDMI. I like the feature set and low profile but it sounds like my Sony receiver's problems all over again.

The Denon looks good as a direct replacement for my Sony plus digital inputs. Perhaps a stupid question but why are receivers still the same size as 10 - 15 years ago? Has the technology not advanced any to allow a reduced size?
