Looking for some feedback on a few AVRs I'm comparing. I'd be up for paying for more features if they are worth it but I'd like to keep cost down. I'd like to keep it below 600. I'm looking for refurbished and used as well as new. The models listed below I found for below $600.
I'll be running a home theater pc into the AVR. I also have network attached storage where I keep all my music. I'd like to avoid using an external amp at this point in time so a well powered amp is necessary. I'll be using Emptek E55ti floor standers and Emptek's big center. Adding a sub down the road when more funds become available.
A powered zone 2 would be nice but not a deal breaker.
What features should I be on the look out for in regards to getting the best sound quality?
Models I'm considering:
Denon AVR E-400
Sony STR DN 1040
Onkyo TX NR 626
Pioneer SC 1223 - K
