Ok,

so today is my birthday and the misses said im allowed to go buy a new receiver.


The local best buy has these two for the price im looking at which is $250.

Pioneer VSX -522

Yamaha RX-V373BL

Denon AVR1312




Ive been reading alot about the onkyo, Denon models also.


Any ideas,thoughts ,recommendations would be very appreciated:)


ATM i have a crappy RCA RT2770 with surround speakers (8ohms), sub and will ,for now,use the existing speakers till i buy new ones.

If those are your only choices, I'd pass on the 1312 (no speaker EQ program), otherwise if you can get the next higher Denon model, 1612, choose that over the other 2 has it has Audyssey that can EQ the sub which the other two models cannot do. Also note that the sub in that setup appears to be a 'passive" sub and would have to be replaced with an "active" sub when used with one of the AVRs you are considering.

To be honest,going to best buy to get it would benefit me in that id be able to have it on the same day,

but buying on line is an option ,i mean i dont mind waiting for delivery:)

Just found a Denon AVR-1612 for $229,but it has only 75 watts per channel ,does the watts per channel really make a difference

thanks,,, im leaning towards the Denon 1612 i saw on line for 229.00+ free shipping

Ive seen a onkyo HT-RC360 refurbished for 247.00 but not too sure about refurbished
