I bought my house a couple of years ago and bought the television to go with it back then. Now I want to fill in my living room with audio. The speakers on my TV are just too weak. The house has four speakers installed in the ceiling of the living room, and they're wired to a plate behind the table where my television sits. The living room is approx. 20' X 20'. I'm planning on buying an AVR, a sub, and a center channel to go with the speakers.
I've been reading some on here, but man there are so many choices from so many companies it's making my head spin. I will only have 5.1 speakers, so I'm not worried about any more than that. I'm not going to by buying a 3D TV any time in the foreseeable future. I've looked at Pioneer, Yamaha, Denon, and Onkyo so far. I don't want to break the bank on my receiver, but I'm worried that the entry-level offerings from these companies will either have terrible build quality or be lacking some feature that I don't even know I need or want. Any recommendations for "must-have" features I should look for? Any recommendations for one company over another?
I'm sure I'll have follow-up questions as I continue down this road, but I appreciate any pointers or comments.
