So here's my situation-
Moving into a new house, and will finally be mounting plasma tv on the wall. Have an HDMI cable in the wall for that clean look. So, I now seem to have to finally get a receiver to input all the other devices into. Right now that is gonna be cable TV, Wii, and DVD player. No dedicated speakers at this time.
My question is what sort of range of AVR do you think I should be looking at? I am no audiophile (dont even own an MP3 player or any apple device). I mainly need something to handle the various inputs. Also, I would like at some point in the not too distant future to add a 5.1 surround system for movies, not so much for music (although my wife may listen to a bit of music).
I was looking at the Pioneer 1019 at about $500 price point. Does this sound reasonable, or are there things I should be looking for at a higher or lower point? If this is about right, any other comparable AVR's to look at?
Sorry for long post, thanks for any rec's. I am a total noob at all this audio stuff.
