Without hesitation, I recommend any Harman Kardon receiver. I can't imagine watching any movie or TV show without my AVR 7000. The sound is fantastic. After work, I live on Logic 7.
Of course, there are some things I wish that it could do -- some features here, some things there. But these quibbles have only been minor, and none affect my actual needs.
Further, customer service is first rate. They are quite generous if you are having problems. (Or they have been with me.) I just e-mailed a problem to them yesterday; and even though I am out-of-warranty, they have today offered to cover most, if not all, repair costs.
Depending upon your budget, you may want to look into the refurbished models on their web site,
www.harmanaudio.com. Or even e-mail them for recommendations. They get back to you very quickly. I am thinking about getting one of their amps and CD players to expand my current system.
Sometimes, such ambiguous requests signal someone who is impatient and anxious. Don't rush to spend your money. Check out the primer. Read up.
Hope this helps. Best of luck to you.
