well, unfortunately I am sure there will be new connections that will make that out of date too. Home theater isn't advancing at the same pace as computers. It fortunately has HDMI but what about when the next connection type comes out? You would have to bypass the receicer. Guess it all depends on how much of a difference you think it makes. But a $900 receiver with $150 monitors doesn't sound like a balanced system. But maybe you have other speakers that I dont know about. Just my opinion
