Well, I'm finally upgrading the budget Technics receiver that I've been using for a while. I have up to $500 to spend, but I'd like to keep the price a little lower if possible. Right now, I'm using B&W DM303s all around and have an extra pair that I bought for my center channel. This means that I have a 6th speaker that I can use for a rear center as well.
These are the receivers that I've been looking at:
Yamaha HTR-5650
Yamaha HTR-5660 (not sure it's worth the extra $100, though)
Kenword VR-7070
Harmon Kardon AVR225
Onkyo TSXR601
Most of those are in the $500 price range, but this is really stretching my budget. At the moment, the Yamaha HTR-5650 is my favorite, since I didn't hear much of a difference between it and the 5660 when I auditioned both at my local HT shop.
I'm open to other suggestions too, of course. These are just the receivers that stood out to me.
Any advice?
