Hey guys, I'm new the forums as you can tell and I'm on the hunt for a receiver. Here's my current setup.
I bought a Samsung 5.1 home theater system about 2 years ago on black friday (back when I didn't know anything about audio). A couple weeks ago the receiver to the home theater setup died on me, leaving me just a set a speakers. I figured this would be a good opportunity to get a new receiver to go with the t.v. I plan on buying.
What I am hooking up to the receiver would be.
1. Computer (audio through an optical cable)
2. PS3 (audio through optical or HDMI)
3. T.V. (audio most likely through HDMI)
I know there are some receivers that can do video passthrough through HDMI which reduces the cluttering of wires and such and would make it much easier to install the components above.
My budget is $400, but I'd much rather prefer to keep it under $300 if possible. I'm looking for a receiver that will give me the best bang for my buck and has good reviews as well.
Thanks to all your help in advance!
