    Help me decide which receiver I should get?

    where I live no body sells any NAD T752, Marantz 7200 or any Yamaha's. There is a local store that carries the Harman Kardon AVR520. The wattage is what worries me about this receiver.

    Any one have an opinion on the JVC RX-8020VBK ?

    Its the Onkyo TXSR600. it does not seem to be a bad receiver its just $200 more than the Panasonic and JVC. Onkyo TXSR600 being $200 more just does not woth it. I stand corrected the JVC is $65 cheaper than the Panasonic.
