All right, I'm looking to get a new/used receiver at around $400.
The thing is, I need something to power 5 Selenium 15CO1Ps. For both home theater use and music/party usage. I've looked at the new high end Pioneer (the VSX-1015TX) but it seems like there's some speculation about how good it actually is?
I've also taken looks at some Sonys. The DE-998 and one from the ES line as well. I sort of ruled out Harman Kardon out early but should I be looking at that too? It didn't seem like they would push those speakers too well without buying the expensive ones.
I really want something with most of the latest DTS stuff, and preouts are a plus to keep it expandable. It has to have a fair number of digital/analog inputs obviously as well. 7.1 or 6.1 are acceptable (I only have 5 speakers, but down the line.. who knows! I'm hoping it'll last me)
I do NOT need lots of fancy video conversion stuff. I tend not to use my receiver to do anything with video so it isn't a big deal to me. If it has it, it's a plus though I guess.
Any help you guys could provide would be awesome...
Thanks!
