Receiver for SBS-01 system

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I plan on buying the SVSound SBS-01 system within the next week or so (unless I find some horrible review to sway me otherwise). My issue is that I'm not sure what receiver would pair well with them. So far I've been looking at Yamaha RX-V661, Denon AVR-787, Onkyo TX-SR674, and the Harman Kardon AVR-247. My price range is up to roughly $500 or so. The only feature that I would really want is the HDMI up-converting so I can have a single cable into my TV. What would be the best receiver for me? If it's none of these, what would it be? Thanks for any help that you can provide.

I think the H/K is a good choice, but you will also find fans of the others here.

Thanks for the reply. I'm hoping to get some other opinions as well before I make my decision.

If your primary focus is sound quality I don't think you'll beat HK. If you want the latest tweaks and features in a receiver either the Onkyo or Yamaha would be the way to go.

The only real features I want is the microphone auto-setup and the HDMI upconverting. Other than that it's all about sound quality. Would the HK still be the best in this instance?

I have the 347 and like it a lot. It does those two things very well.

I checked out the HK 347, but unless I"m looking in the wrong spot it's a bit out of my price range. Do you have somewhere that you recommend looking into it?

Got mine for $300 below list. The price fluctuated almost daily. I waited for the right moment to buy online (I think it was through J&R).

The 247 does most of the same though. For a few hundred less.
