Best advice Robert is to look at them hands-on.  Most of the stereos now are 
menu-driven.  Some are multi-layered menus that are a bitch, excuse my French, 
to operate.  I had a Sony STR1000 that I borrowed while my Yamaha was being 
repaired.  I could not reliably set the stupid presents.

In looking at another store, the Yamaha RX659 I think it was, seemed to have a 
bit more predictability in the menu system than the Sony.  Only in the 
lowest-end models can you avoid a lot of the menu garbage.

    Yeah I am still looking for one.  ;)  Was browsing the BestBuy web site.
Some systems are satellite ready.  Is this XM radio?  Is it worth it?  And
some have bluetooth connectivity.  Is this a good thing to have?

    Basic things I want is presets that are easy to access once set up.
Line outs.  CD player/changer.  I really want to pull in local stations.
