I am making the transition right now from an infinity home theater in-a-box with a 9 year old HK 225 receiver to building my own speaker setup. I have been reading up on reviews in my price range and settled on the following speakers:
Fronts: Polk Monitor 60s
Center: Polk CS2
Surrounds: Polk Monitor 40s
Sub: none yet, but am looking to stay in the ~$200 range
I also recently bought a Yamaha RX A-800 receiver from Fry's for $414 out the door. It was sort of an impulse buy as the salesman was telling me it was a great receiver. I decided to buy it and try it out since I have about 3 more weeks to return it if I don't like it.
I was just wondering if this is a good buy in terms of being a good for my setup. I was also looking at the Onkyo HT-RC360 which is roughly $340 out the door. Also, are there any other receivers worth looking at in the $300-$400 range? Obviously, I'm a newbie and would appreciate all the help/advice I can get. Thanks!
