Ok,
My search for a new receiver has narrowed down to two, and I am stuck in battle with myself.
I need the sage advise from the Forum to help me end it.
I have even considered the ever democratic coin toss (it worked on the play ground as a kid).
They are both on special at my Local Tweeter Etc. store. Yamaha RX-V640 is $ 399.00, and the Denon AVR-1804 is $ 445.00.
I know that either could be had for less online, or may be as a refurb., but Tweeter offers a full price trade in policy of 120 days on receivers (one year on speakers).
This policy is for same, or higher priced merchandise so that they never actually give you cash back. This means that if within four months I get the urge to upgrade to a RX-Z1 or a AVR-3803, I won't totally peturb the lovely wife.
It needs to be noted that I will be using this receiver for 90% DVD or Home theatre use.
Connectivity and switching is one of my strong deciding factors. It will be used in conjunction with my new Sony KP-57WS510 HD-RPTV.
My next conquest will be for a new home theatre speaker system. I already have a new AR-1212 250 AMP Sub, but am still using my 2 year old Pioneer HTIB surround speakers.
I am considering a Klipsch, or Cambridge Soundworks setup.
Any advice in helping me got off top dead center on the receiver issue will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards, Al. Wise
