Which to get, please help. I have 550 to spend, so if there is another receiver I should consider please post!!
I am exactly where you are. I have read so much here, my eyes hurt and brain aches, and have learned more than anything, how much more I don't know, and need to know. Still, it may help to understand what your priorities are.
For me, the receiver is just for DVDs, BDs, TV (regular broadcast and hi-def). I have a PS3, and will be getting a Samsung DLP 61". Picture quality is my priority, and ease of setup (I am no expert in this stuff), with some degree of protection against obsolescence. Sounds needs to be good, but I am no audiophile. Not sure what works best for that, but if you could say what is important to you, it may help nail down some choices.
For instance, I hear Denon's instructions are weak, and for me, that is a serious downside, taking Denon off my short list.
