1910, 1019, 607 or higher for Mirage speakers? (up to ~$700)
Good evening/morning all!
I've been researching these 3 receivers (and more) for countless hours and the closer I get to deciding on one the more I learn and become indecisive again!
Basically I'm designing a basement bedroom combined with a home theater based around my Pio 5020 and Mirage 550, C150, and 150c's I already own or have on the way. I'd like to hook up a 360, PS3, HD cable, WDTV and possibly my Wii and other old game systems so 4+ HDMI are a requirement.
I also require a good receiver to power these speakers and have very little AV background as far as receivers and speakers go but have seen good things about the Mirage speakers I got and Vanns had too good of a deal to pass up. I do like the option of Pro Logic IIz and it is in my want, but don't need, category.
As far as all the other features and specs go, I just want something that will make these speakers purr and roar with no problem and make my movies and music sound great.
Of the Pio 1019, Denon 1910, and Onkyo 607, which should work well with my setup and if there is a better option (more power, THX certified, etc) what would it be?
P.S. - any sub recommendation to go with the speakers?

There are tradeoffs... I have a 1910 and currently love it. It doesn't get hot (like the Onkyo), it has Audyssey (unlike the Pio), and the ABT scaling capabilities are pretty impressive (480i looks much better). I don't use the Pro Logic IIz capability, but it's there just in case.
Seriously though, Audyssey is awesome- it does a better job tuning the speakers than I ever could.
You can get a 1910 for under $400 (with shipping) if you look in the 1910 thread.

Out of your list, I'd go with the Denon 1910. You could also look at the HK 354 and Marantz SR5003.
Thanks a lot for the replies guys, the Denon and Pio were calling me (have heard good things about both Audyssey MultiEQ as well as MCACC) and the heat issues with Onkyo weren't directly offputting but put it in 3rd behind the other two.
Any reason to step up to the Denon 2310ci over the 1910/Pio 1019?

Do this comparison and see if its worth the difference to you. Maybe so maybe no. 2310 a little more watts/channel and other convenience options. Only you can decide if its worth the price increase for you.

Definitely, though with my 200W speakers (the 550's at least) would I do better to get the 2310CI for the 105w output vs the 90w the other 3 are capable of?
One thing that almost made me jump up to the 2310 was the volume overlay over HDMI. I can't stand changing the volume and not getting visual confirmation of it. In the end, though, I just couldn't justify the jump. I took advantage of the EE deal on the 1910.
105W vs. 90W isn't that much of an increase. You probably couldn't even hear it, from what the experts say. The 2310 may have slightly better audio, but whether you could hear much of a difference I don't know.
