From the site:

B & K is an Alpha development test site for Motorola's Symphony Family of 24 bit DSP processors and contributes to the design, development and testing of the newest, state-of-the-art digital processors (DSP).
B & K's A/V receivers are designed and built in the U.S., making them unique in this world of mass produced, look-alike, sound-alike components. Calling upon our world leadership in digital technology, B & K's engineers have created a new breed of audio/video components that dollar for dollar out perform the competition. By providing the latest surround sound technology available today (Dolby Pro LogicII®, Dolby Digital Surround EX ®, DTS Neo:6 and DTS-ES “Extended Surround”) and allowing our products to be updated to future systems and software protocols, B & K makes the choice of what brand to buy quite simple. After all, why buy something today that may be obsolete tomorrow?
How can B & K, a relatively small company in Buffalo, New York compete with the giant, multi-national electronic companies? For one thing, we have a special relationship with Motorola. B & K is an alpha test site for the development of Motorola's new state-of-the-art processors. When the technology is perfected, we are the first to have it. Secondly, our design philosophy is to make things as simple as possible. This means fewer parts for more direct signal paths and cleaner sound. It also means specifying the best parts, like 1% resistors instead of 5% or gold plated contacts instead of soldered tin.
Digital performance. A strong strategic partnership and a passion for sensible simplicity. Three reasons why B & K simply sounds better.
Upgradable for Future Technology The AVR507 is the pinnacle of B & K’s remarkable design of future proofing our products. The engineers at B & K have earned a reputation of designing our products to be able to be upgraded internally as new technologies evolve. Through software and hardware upgradability the AVR 507 redefines value. The B & K AVR 507 represents cutting edge technology today, and tomorrow.
