My old reliable Marantz SR-19 was stolen recently
and I'll need a new receiver for the new house. It was a fairly simple piece but did it's work without drama or fuss. Speaker is PSB Silver i. Impedance curve bottoms at 3.76 ohm according to audioxpress.com/reviews/media/1101colin.pdf
The Onkyo 1007 appears to be a good match but is somewhat overbudget ($1000 at A4L) as I'd like to stay in the $700 and under range to avoid a testiculectomy from the significant other. The 805/875 seem also well matched but all the funky doodads incorporated into the new breed of receivers are very intriguing....esp the advanced forms of Audyssey. The height channels sound cool too so I'm prewiring for those.
Perhaps a 707 with preouts to an older/used outboard amp for the mains?
Thanks for any help. I know the 'which is the best thread' is overdone but I didn't find many suggestions from the newer gear for this application.
