Hello everyone...

I've been watching this forum for sometime as I've started on a project to build my home theater / entertainment system. The last time I did this was 15 yrs ago when I was putting together my stereo system which was centered around an Integra receiver. A lot has changed and I would appreciate the advise of those more up to date on the subject...

I am looking for opinions regarding a new A/V Receiver...

My system will consist of a Fujitsu plasma w/ either B & K or Niles speakers (still deciding between the two). The A/V Receiver will be used for Video and Audio 80% and 20% of the time respectively... HDTV/DVD/CD/SACD.

I've looked and listened to the Denon (4802) , Yamaha (RX-V3300), and Sony (DA3000ES) so far. I've preferred them in that order. I have yet to listen to the new Integras and Marantz receivers. I've been thinking about the Integra DTR-9.1U2 or DTR-8.3, and the Marantz SR9300.

I would like to hear from those who are more familiar with and have had more experience with these receivers. Any other suggestions would also be welcome. The only other requirement is that I need to drive stereo speakers in one other room (just for audio when I'm entertaining guests). I'm looking to finalize my system in a week and work on buying and installing everything soon after that.

Thanks,

Naren C
