Ethernet Port and Web Browser in Audio Video Receiver

Yamaha RX-Z11 (+ $4,000)
Onkyo TX-NR905 (+ $1,500)

This merger, or whatever it is supposed to be reminds me a lot of the Sears + Kmart deal. You take two mid to poor performing companies and slap them together. In the Sears/Kmart deal they thought at least Kmart had some interesting real estate. ...
