I plan on purchasing M22/VP150/QS8 system in about 6 months. I need a new receiver now though. I would appreciate any suggestions.
I am currently trying to decide between the Onkyo 705 and the Denon 2308/888. It seems as though the Onkyo has more features for the money but I heard it can be a little bright with Axioms and Denon might be a better choice. I have about a $650 limit and I need a phono input on the receiver.
My room is 20x15x9 (2700 cu\ft) with wood floors and an area rug. The back wall opens to the kitchen with an open bar area dividing the two rooms.
Any experience and advice on receiver selection is greatly appreciated. - LJ01
