Many thanks for your reply Alan. I appreciate the info.
That is exactly how I felt regarding this company. I actually emailed their support staff to get some more specs regarding the receiver and they were unable to give me the standard wattage output at 8 ohms etc. Aside from it being a very nice looking receiver I ruled it out for a number of reasons.
Furthermore, it was not comforting to see that they had very few reviews online.
It seems to have come down to 2 receivers:
A - Yamaha HTR 5850, or
B - Harmon Kardon AVR 135
I should be able to get either for around the same price. I simply cannot afford to go higher and have not found much used to my liking.
It will be for the medium sized living-room (12 x 16 feet) in my apartment driving M60's up front and some uninteresting surrounds in the back for the time being.
It will be used 99% for music (most of which coming from my computer) and now and again for movies.
Any thoughts on the above?
All the best,
Jordan
