anonymo April 25, 2006 Share anonymo Member April 25, 2006 Sony JVC Panasonic The Sony will probably offer the best bang for your buck...but none of these are really worth it...that being said you'll have to spend a little more than $350 USD to get a decent receiver...I personally recommend anything by Marantz or Yamaha ...but you'll quickly find yourself in the $1200+ area...if you don't mind your receiver possibly dying in the next 3-5 years then go with the Sony...otherwise keep saving! And NEVER EVER buy from anyone but an authorized dealer! Even people like Best Buy are a waste of money as Sony and other major brands often outsource their name to weird companies specifically for sale in the "big store" catagory...so beware! (this includes *gag*Wal-mart/Zellers/Target etc.*/gag* I always tell people, never spend more than $100 on any single item at those stores, it's just not worth it!)

Laz.e.rus April 25, 2006 Author Share Laz.e.rus Member April 25, 2006 the sony you linked is 8 ohms, but the jvc and pana are only 6 ohms. Wouldnt that be a bad thing to run my speakers with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz.e.rus April 27, 2006 Author Share Laz.e.rus Member April 27, 2006 any other info/recommendations for 8 ohm etc other than that one Sony linked above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek-Almighty April 28, 2006 Share Tek-Almighty Member April 28, 2006 I have to tell you, the first 5.1 sys I ever owned (6 years ago) was a Kenwood VR-307...good value for the money...good clean power... Two years ago I bought a 6.1 kenwood DTS system and am still amazed. that was about $700. You can find some good receivers for sale on Ebay if you spend the time... Lots of ppl like sony, but at the time, Kenwood was one of the bust buys for the money, considering the presets, EQ, speaker configs, DTS decoding, etc...
