RE: Panasonic SA-XR55S vs SA-XR57K vs ?????

I have been using a Panny SA XR55 in my study for over three months and am very pleased with the sound. I cannot comment on the audio/video results since I only use it for two channel stereo with floor-standing JBL 3way 8" speakers. However there are reams of pages of posts on the AVS forum and other forums with rave reviews on the suitability of using it in 6.1 setups.

Besides the headphone out which I found quite good, I was also pleasantly surprised by sensitivity and selectivity of the FM tuner. There is a non-compressed, extended dynamic range classical FM station in my area (WQXR) that sounds much more open and detailed than its digital stream or any other internet radio stations I can get with my Squeezebox using optical cables. I find myself listening more and more to FM radio in recent weeks even though I have hundreds of albums ripped to lossless wav files on my dedicated hard drive.

For more comments on the XR55 and XR57 see the following recent thread from the Digital Forum. Regards. Barney
