Im thinking about the Pioneer VSX-LX70

http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/42/98/405/VSX-LX70/index.html

The fact that it is DLNA-certified is nice, but not important, as both the 
PS3 and the 360 do that.

But...£1099!!!!  Could I??

Thank you kindly

   Oh people, know that you have committed great sins. 
    If you ask me what proof I have for these words, 
    I say it is because I am the punishment of God. 
         If you had not committed great sins, 
  God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

I don't know that particular one, but don't see why you shouldn't
spend that sort of money on an amp, provided that:
(a) you can afford to do so; and
(b) it has the features (including, of course, good sound quality)
that you want.

I spent £1,000 on my present AV amp (Denon AVR 3805) three or four
years ago, and don't regret it.

Mind you, I'd be inclined to go for Denon/Onkyo/Yamaha ahead of
Pioneer if I was buying an amp. That's not to say that Pioneer aren't
good (I've had favourable experiences of their kit in the past), but
that others might be better, and give you more for your money. I see
that that particular Pioneer only gets four stars in What Hi-Fi's
table.
