I think Bren likes to bash me....maybe I didnt make it clear enough. I put the three brand names up for people to give me their opinion of them....and then some one asked why I was asking. So, I had to explain why....the hiss and the music bleed. Let me state that the music bleed into my TV speakers and computer speakers occurs in two different rooms. My receiver does not pick up this noise. My receiver sits next to my TV. I use either AR (subwoofer coax) or Monster cables for all my connections. But, Ill take the advice and rehook all of it up with the new components and move some items around...probably with a Panamax 5100
