Just snagged a pair of infinity primes p363 tower speakers. Need something to power them. And i dont really know what i should be looking for. I will expand with a subwoofer, as well as possibly other speakers too. So, i will need a reciever that will allow for such expansion. Id really like to spend less than 400 and thats pushing it. Im open to ideas.

The new 2014 models should start being released in the next couple of months so stores will be clearing out last year's models.

Oh yeah. That may help with price. What wattage and features should I look for

The power doesn't matter. The features are up to you.

Most if not all AVRs can run just 2 speakers in a way that has sound quality advantages over most 2 channel receivers and integrated amps.

Yes. All of them do.

ANY receiver has enough power to run those speakers. POWER is a non-issue; don't shop for an AVR by power ratings.


I recommend the Harman-Kardon AVR 1700, which you can get for $299.


I think it has the best sound quality and overall performance for that price.

 

[Bretzy1990]

Great. Will that Harman karden push those speakers enogh to get loud?

Depends what you call "loud' and the size of the listening area. Loud means different things to different people. Hopefully you'll have a subwoofer too.
