Hey all --
I own (owned?) a Onkyo TX-SR608. It was paired with a Deftech procinema 1000 system with a Procenter 2000.
It worked great, until the last 2 months when I've had a lot of issues with the receiver (sound cuts out for no reason....sometimes it comes back, sometimes it didn't).
I'm now in the market for a new receiver. I don't care much about all the new features, just looking for something that can handle 7.1 and rocks with movies. (all it needs to be able to handle is a Sony blu ray player, XBOX 360, and TiVo).
I was thinking of a Marantz SR5005, but read elsewhere that Marantz is better for 2 channel stero than movies AND that the pop of death issue is still in the 0005 series.
Does anyone have any suggestions? My budget is about $600, though of i'd be willing to spend a little more (and I don't neccessarily need to spend all $600).
thanks in advance
