I'm looking for a new receiver for a home theater, and have a budget (set by the wife, of course) of $500. I've looked at a few brands/models and almost settled on the Onkyo TX-NR626, but the reports on the ongoing HDMI issues with the 626 and a few other Onkyos have made me very reluctant to go with them.
I need a receiver that has the following features:
I'm not too concerned about Dolby Atmos support, but one thing I'm unsure about is if I should get a receiver that supports the newer HDMI 2.0 standard at 60 Hz. This receiver will feed a projector and HDTV, but I'll probably upgrade the TV to UHD in a year or two.
Any suggestions on a reliable receiver that meets the above requirements and delivers excellent audio, within my budget?
