I've been looking into getting a reciever. I don't know whether or not to go for 6.1 or just stick with the 5.1. Most likely I would be getting 5.1 speakers to go with this receiver. So far I'm looking at
-Denon AVR-1802 5.1
-Onkyo TX-SR502 6.1
-Denon AVR-1803 6.1
-Denon AVR-1804 6.1
-Denon AVR-2802 6.1
-Onkyo TX-SR601 6.1
-Onkyo TX-SR602 7.1
-Onkyo TX-SR503 7.1
(I know this is a long list, but I put them in order from most financially feasable to least)
All of the 7.1 receivers are a little out of my budget. I'm trying to keep things under 200 if at all possible. At the same time however, I want to get somthing that won't be out of date quickly (component inputs, 5.1 input). Also, I like the deonons because they have a phono input. I know i can get an separate amp for that but I'd rather have everything go the same place. There's probably a good Yamaha that would fit in here, but I don't know it. I'm sure that 5.1 or 6.1 would be fine for me right now considering I've never had a surround system before. and we're already into the 7.1s now. The cheper the reciever the more money I can put into speakers. I am really thinking about getting a solid 5.1 reciever cheap and then getting a good set of speakers. I want to get a set of matched speakers. I'd get better quality buing piece by piece, but I'm a little scared of matching them right. Sorry for the long post any advice would be great. Thanks Chris
