A have a few questions, I am not that knowledgeable with what Brand names are trustworthy or that make quality products as I do in other subjects.
I have been looking for a new Receiver for a little while since everything owned currently within the house is very old, you name is, VCR's, DVD's, Receivers, CRT TV's, All the electronics 'entertainment wise' is very out of date.
I wanted to ask anyone or everyone if they feel that Onkyo is a good company, do they make reliable and great-quality products in terms of their Receivers? or should I trust another company?
Why I ask that is because I had found this:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...762&CatId=3418
for $365 CAD, for that price and it supports 7.1? I usually see anything that supports 7.1 would range from $600+, as well as it has 3-4 HDMI ports.
Is that a good deal? I want one of the best receivers, but nothing too expensive, the Best and cheapest basically.....
Also, a question about HDMI that has never truly been answered: Is basically any HDMI cord that is $50+ a scam? Would having it 'Gold plated' or everything else that they consider features be unnecessary 'customer-eye-popping-Bull' to try to Wow them with stuff that doesn't matter nor makes sense to them? Would 'Any' HDMI cord, cheap or expensive work the same? Or do the expensive ones actually offer a significant difference?

Basically I'm just going to use it with my future HDTV, for Movies and Games(PS3), I want great quality and a reliable product, I want something that at least has 2-3 HDMI ports, with a Digital Optical Audio optionally, but something in the range of $200-$300 but still sounds clear, great, and is awesome in every way, lol....- For example, I needed new speakers as of recent and a great set was the Logitech X-540 Surround Sound Speakers, being 5.1, Logitech brand(which I know is good) for only $69-79, That's a great price for a great product.
