The quality is much much better then the latest models. Zero trouble. Never ever covered the air vents, but always left space above it for circulation. Initially run thru a Microtek surge strip, replaced last year with the new DAC surge protector. Used the AVR is two different cities since I have been transferred twice during its lifetime - so the AVR has moved more than kms in its original packing.
Works almost perfectly. The buttons have lost a bit of touch seem to have a mind of their own, until I got it serviced and its back to normal now. Tape works ok, but the CD player works like a charm. Speakers are very fine. But enticed by Multi channel revolution, I have upgraded to Onkyo.

Also, cover the amp with cloth when not in use, and periodic dusting with a small handheld vacuum. Having a clean power supply from an online UPS for eg will also be useful.
I think if the amp is kept cool, dust free and given clean power, no reason it should not last quite long. I have been using a harman kardon AVR 25 5. I haven't had any problems so far.

A fair estimate for how quickly technology advances is about years. For example, look at the crossover time between HD and 4K, which has been going for a few years now. If your devices all use standard HD, then you should be covered for a few more years. With the increasing popularity of formats like HDMI 2. So, in short, you can probably expect to get about years of use out of your home receiver. If you buy intelligently and start with high-end equipment, then you can probably stretch this out a bit more.
Before you go ahead, check out my top picks for home theater receivers. These have been tested in regular homes, so the reviews are more realistic unlike the ones you find on big websites.
Now is probably a good time for this because several new technologies have emerged recently and these are starting to be found in more affordable products. Similarly, the price of 4K technology is beginning to trickle down. Here are some things to look for when buying a new home receiver. Therefore, making sure your receiver has 4K compatibility is probably the most important thing. As I mentioned, home receivers can basically last as long as you want them to. However, there are plenty of signs that indicate you might need to trade in your old home receiver for a brand new one.
Here are the biggest signs that you need to make the jump to some new tech. For example, if you bought a home receiver when HD technology was becoming popular, you may only have 1 or 2 HDMI inputs. You could solve this problem with a switcher, but it can also be a sign for upgrading to a new home receiver. None of these ever failed because of heat. The other thing it could be is a spurious HDMI spike from source quipment. I have had sky boxes and games machines kit out a spike and it knock out the weakest component in the link.
Traditionally this was caused by 'hotplugging' live equipment. This is less of an issue now, but a lot of devices are built to a price and therefore component are forced to get cheaper. The wierdest one I have ever had is a Sky HD box that blew something or other in its HDMI circuitry, but in doing so it retained the image of the channel when it blew. It was actually burnt into the chip, so even a full power off, leave for an hour, restart resulted in the same image re-appearing!
When you say hot plugging, would an example be; PS4 turns on - send signal to avr AVR send signal out but cables not connected to the monitor long story Plug HDMI into Monitor and the amp displays the picture? Depends on your needs and pocket. I am all in viewing for 4k for a night in. With HDMI2. Of course that raises issues of speakers for my system but would just have to work it in to the existing.
There are now a number of speaker manufacturers that offer little angled ones to sit on top of floor standers for atmos dutys. They point upwards and use the ceiling to reflect sound back down fo the atmos effect. KEF and Monitor Audio are two that spring to mind straightaway. HorneyMX5 4, posts months.
