What is the shelf life of "Top Pick" status on an item such as this? The review itself is not that old and the product is still current and yet it's specs seem borderline obsolete. Is the sound that good that it is in any way a better pick over the Marantz? Is the history of build quality with Rotel units so much better then Integra or other lower price competitors? And what of the Anthem receivers?
