Hi everybody,
I m in process to look for a good receiver that costs up to $600. I already purchased 5.1 speaker system, so now I need to get a receiver. I know I can get some information from here, but sometimes it felt overwhelmed to go through this research ( I m learning a lot
) and plus it will be my first receiver. So far, I am leaning down to two receivers:
Onkyo 706 or Denon 2309.
I understand that Onkyo intents to overheat easily compared to Denon, but I assumed Onkyo 706 has more features and cheaper compated to Denon 2309. Again, I assume Denon is a better receiver, right? I can get either this receiver for less than $600.
From my understanding, is Onkyo 706 almost equilvalent to Denon 2809? I love to get the 2809, but it's too much for my budget.
Any suggestion welcomes.
Thanks,
Joe
