I need some serious help here.
I'm a HT Virgin and I'm putting together my 1st HT 7.1 setup. I'm going with a more budget friendly speaker system, but want to invest in a great receiver that will be able to handle speaker upgrades in the future. Budget for AVR is $1,000 max.
My HT will be primarily for Movies/Sports/Music, I'll be running a Blue ray, Apple TV, and a Cable box in. I would also like to add a Projector in the future.
My current 7.1 setup will be:
Fronts: Polk monitor 70 series ii
Center: Polk CS2
Surrounds: Polk monitor 40 series ii
Rear Surrounds: Polk monitor 30 series ii
Sub: Klipsch Sub-12HG Synergy Series (I may add an additional Sub-12 later on).
The receivers I'm looking at are (feel free to offer more suggestions):
Marantz SR7007 $899 http://*******.com/m2eqhra
Marantz SR5009 $899 http://*******.com/mchn4y7
Denon X3000 $598 http://*******.com/qyhpgyw
Denon X4000 $799 http://*******.com/mh8d74f
Harmon Kardon AVR 3000 $999 http://*******.com/kaxy3xk
Taking into consideration power, functionality, accessibility, reliability/longevity and of course Price, what's the best of the best?
I just need some help and advice as I have never even bought a receiver before.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
