Looking at a new AV receiver

Haha.
In fairness, I might have gone with that Pioneer, but my gaff isn't that big so I opted for the sony.
The 9.2 option is very tempting, but I already have more cable runs than i can shake a stick at & the cat is quite fond of fighting with them.

I have a build-a-bear "bat-bear" with a squeaker in it's paw that makes meow noises & even that freaks the cat out
