My Onkyo just went

Looking to replace it but I need pre-outs for Front L, Front R and Center as my Emotiva amp is powered those channels. I will need the receiver to power my surround R and L. Prefer to have at least 4 HDMI in.

I don't really need any other features such as network ready, etc.

Any suggestions? Like to keep it as cheap as possible.

check if your onkyo is covered under the HDMI extended warranty.

Most any mid-range AVR will do that. Are you sure you actually need the amplification? Plenty of people don't.

For cheap, buy something used.

Many midrange AVRs do not have preouts.

If you don't mind last years' Yamaha you can get a decent deal.

If you don't mind refurbs you can get something around $400.

It's a very old Onkyo, over 7 years.

I was looking at the RX-830, was hoping to get something cheaper but I think this is what I need. Not many cheaper options.

I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago. I wound up with an RX-A800 refurb. That was the cheapest solution I could find at that time as well. I am also using it with an Emotiva amp. I couldn't be happier with the combination.

Thanks for posting. Found it on AC4L for a decent price (refurb)

Might pull the trigger on this one
