cohibajoe, I have that TA-N220ES, had the tuner, and have the parts for most of the TA-E2000ESD (botched repair on a bad SMD device). If the preamp had had direct 5.1 inputs, I'd still be using it.
It has one of the most flexible and natural sounding set of room acoustics controls, for positioning the surround space to match just about any environment. You could reposition the distance from the performer to the back wall, move your seat forwards backwards and side-to-side, change the size of the hall, change the absortivity of the wall surfaces, modify the length of time for the sound to decay, and more.
The tuner is no slouch, either.
Excellent score for the price!
