I have been out of the loop on HT gear for about two years...in that time, my receiver has decided that it no longer loves me, and and I have decided it should die.
I've talked the wife into about a thousand bucks.
I am looking for forward compatability to 6 or 7.1, but the most important thing is LOADS of inputs. I have two TiVos, DVD, VCR, DirecTV, a gaming system, a security camera, cable TV and input from my computer. I'd like at least the Tivo, DirecTV, computer and DVD to be digital audio and S-Video...
Power is not a huge requirement, the room isn't that big. Maybe 65W or better per?. Remotes are not an issue since I'll be using a Pronto...I just want a good quality receiver with loads of inputs that will stay on for more than 20 minutes at a time and not make fuzz noises at me while I sleep.
The receiver will be driving Polk RT35's, a Polk 225 center, a 15" sub in the back and a 12" sub in the front, subs are powered.
So...what do the experts say? I'm willing to take any and all suggestions, I have no brand loyalty.
