I recognize this question may have been asked before, but my searches have turn up days of reading and I have not quite found the answer yet.
So here goes:
I have a Panny S1 54" and I just matched it with a DMP-BD85. My previous A/V was very old and I'm in need of a total upgrade. The S1 was a wise choice for me due to price and quality at the time. The BD-85 now adds the missing internet connection and upstaged to WiFi and 7.1 audio. With options like Netflix added I have the same or better options than I would have had with an upgraded Panny TV version a few months ago.
Now I'm looking for a compatiable receiver that complements the features that I have with the TV and Bluray player. Not looking to get the best money can buy, but something that considers the features I have with the units I've bought as not to over do it or limit their use.
What is good 7.1 receiver to get which allows full use of the audio features of the BD85? I'll use my current speakers for now and I hope to get a very nice set at a later date. What's recommended? Or is there a powered speaker system that can be driven right off of the BD85?
Thanks for your input.
