Apparently the Denon 1912 had the Cnet Editors' Choice award in 2011, if that means anything. And they think the Pioneer 1022 isn't as good as the 1021, for some reason. I'm starting to think that Cnet may be suspect..

Ok, so, scratching the Marantz, the updated best-picks list looks like this: Yamaha 471 / $190 HK 1700 / $200 Pioneer 1022 / $250 Denon 1613 / $260 Onkyo 609 / $270 Denon 1912 / $340 I'm sure I could...

The only other receivers that I've found so far that could be added to the list would be: Onkyo TX-NR609 ($270) - Doesn't have the HDMI problems, voted receiver of the year in 2011 by cnet, I think MARANTZ NR1402 ($290) - It's listed...

Thanks, GaryWA & Bond007 -- Still not decided yet, but getting closer. Thanks for answering some of my questions! Currently between Yamaha RX-471 ($190), Denon AVR-1613 ($260), Yamaha RX-473 ($290). Leaning toward the Yamaha, but still...

I'm not sure how I would go about hooking up my Andrew Jones Pioneer subwoofer to the V373, as it has a dedicated single-jack for the subwoofer, whereas the subwoofer I have uses the red-white split connection jack. Hm. It seems to have...

Can anyone speak to the differences between the Yamaha models? The V373, V473, and V573 are all within my budget. Are there any appreciable differences in sound quality between these, considering my modest setup? There is also the...

Thanks, Gary -- That was definitely one I was considering. So, the list so far is: Yamaha RX-V373 ($190, new) Denon AVR-1612/3 ($200/$260, refurb) Denon AVR-1712 ($310, refurb) Does anyone have any opinions on these three Denon models...
