Well guys, I just bought my receiver but I caught the upgrade bug (I wish they had a vaccine). Anyways, I need help choosing one. Originally I was looking at the Sony STRDE995 but now I've read that the amplifiers are a little weak, is this true?
This is what I need in the receiver
-Less than $450
-7.1 surround sound
-probably more than 75 watts per channel (there goes Harman Kardon)
-at least 2 component inputs
-at least 3 S-Video inputs
-at least 3 composite inputs
-composite to s-video up conversion
-at least 3 optical inputs
-at least 1 coax digital inputs
-less than .1% full bandwidth THD
This is what I would like to have but not needed.
-THX rating
-Logic 7
-Full 7.1 Preouts
-Binding Post Outputs
-The component inputs have to be HD ready (I will be upgrading)
I think that the Sony is the only one to meet all the requirements, but I wanted your opinions before I buy. I will not buy Kenwoods anymore. They are all I have ever owned but now they seem to be getting cheap. I will be selling the VR-605 if anyone is interested.
Thanks,
Lee
