I want to purchase a basic receiver and make use of my still-great (but old) sounding AR Inc speakers [as mains] and slowly build on additional [surround] speakers, etc.
I want to spend only about $200 - $250 (I know this severely limits me).
I have seen in Best Busy and Circuit City the following brands/models and would like peoples opinions:
KLH R5000 (about $180)
Pioneer VSX-D411 (about $180)
Sony STRDE485 (about $200)
The Pioneer and Sony do not have S-video, although the KLH does. *Not that this would be a deciding factor but what usefulness would s-video provide on my receiver? I have just purchased a DVD player with optical and coax digital audio outputs as well as composite/s-video output.
Please share any thoughts on the above receivers or on another brand.
Thanks,
Walter
