I can't be the only consumer like this. I want a modern AVR - one with super amps, the latest wizardry but without all those S_video and composite connections. I've totally upgraded my gear to HDMI for video and streaming lossless codecs for audio. I also don't need phono connections, cassette connections or multi-zone connections. Here's the list:
4 to 8 HDMI connections
1 S-Video and Composite, on the front, for a camera or something
Ethernet or wifi - web interface for configuration
Internet Radio (no AM or FM needed)
2 or 3 audio-in (for ipods, Airport Express, or the aforementioned camera above)
I'd love to buy a Pioneer SC-07 or other high end AVR, but I hate having all those connections I'll never use. Plus, the darn things are so big to accommodate all those connections.
Any suggestions? I want a minimalist, top-of-the-line preamp with an awesome amp.
