Who makes the Best Buy house brand Insignia receivers?
Model in question, Insignia IS-HC040917
It has a discrete output stage, Toroidal Power supply, and two 10,000 uF capacitors. Is there any possibility that this receiver may be as good of a deal as the Insignia bookshelf speakers discussed on so many forums?
It also has an input wattage of 500 watts, so it may come close to it's wattage output ratings. It is probably short on surround features, but I could care less. I don't use Pro-logic and DSP modes often, and the X-over in my M&K is likely to be better than what's inside the receiver. I think it has Component, S-Video, and of course Composite switching, two coaxial digital inputs and one optical. It is by no means loaded, but for $150 or less it could be a very good deal. This is assuming that it isn't made by KLH or some such crap. I owned a KLH receiver a few years back and it was the worst audio component I had ever purchased, I just hope that the Insignia is in no way similar to that.
Thanks in advance,
