Hi all,


I'm trying to determine what receiver I should get to complete our home theater system, and I'd appreciate any advice you could offer. I can't claim to know much, but I'm trying to understand the issues. I have some older equipment, and my receiver is out of date (Onkyo TX-SV373) and doesn't do HD video, so I need to replace it. The equipment I have is:


Speakers

PS3 (for playing Blu Ray disks)

1080p television


After reading through the forums some, I'm considering the following:

Denon AVR-1611

Denon AVR-1612

Denon AVR-1712

Onkyo TX-SR309

Onkyo TX-NR509


Would these all be acceptable? I don't have big needs, just a simple receiver that will take the signal from the PS3 and be able to send the video to a 1080p TV and the audio to my speakers (5.1 setup). I can get the Onkyos on Amazon for $200-250 and the Denons from $300-$400.


Thanks,

Brian

I should also note that I'm open to other brands of receivers, so any suggestions for those would be great as well.

Thanks!

The speakers are all 8 ohm, if that's important.


Thanks!
