Dear Smart People of the HT realm,
I am a newbie somewhat in this new HT thing. I have tried to read up on everything but I am stumped when it comes to what AV receiver I should get. I know this much:
1: In my room that I built I wired it for 6.1 surround.
2: I can't spend more than about $800.00
3: I want the most POWER/FEATURES for the money
I have read up on many of the new models and they are all 7.1. I can never get a real answer sure answer if a 7.1 receiver will work for 6.1? I heard that you have to do some reprogramming to make it work, I also here it will do it just fine. Should I just stick with a 6.1 receiver and If so which one do you recommend. As for speakers, I'm getting all Polk brand Rti6's L/R and CS3 center,PSW-12 SUB, still thinking about the surrounds.
I want this to sound good, but I don't want to kill my finances over it. One min I think Harman, then I think Denon, then I think... well you know..
So what say you? I hear this is the best place to get answers, so here I am.
Thanks in advance!
Sean
