I'm in the process of putting together my Home Theater System and I'm in need of some recommendations.
I currently have a 27" Samsung HDTV, 2 JBL S312IIs as fronts, a JBL S-Center II, and a pair of JBL S36IIs as my rear speakers. I'm looking for a Receiver and a DVD player to complete the system.
Since I work at Best Buy, and since I get a tidy little discount, my choices are pretty much limited to Best Buy stock (i.e. low to mid-range receivers).
I've narrowed it down to 2 choices: The Yamaha HTR 5490 and the Kenwood VR 6060. The Yamaha is only rated to 80 watts a channel, which makes me think it might be a bit underpowered. I'm only hooking up 5 speakers to the receiver, so which do you guys think would be better?
I'm looking for HDTV component switching, amplification that's on par with my speakers (especially the 312's), and quality sound. Recommendations? Comments?
