Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Receiver Dilema - I know You've Heard it Before

Hello All.
I am utterly confused and figured I would ask the resident experts for their advice and choice. I bought a HK7300 remanufactured unit which arrived in horrible condition....so now I have to make a choice. The choices are as follows:

1. Replace the HK7300 - Total Cost $1000.00 USD
2. Buy a HK AVR635 and add 3 Outlaw 200's - Total $1700 approximately.
3. Buy a Arcam AVR300 for about $2000.00
4. Look at a Denon 3805 w monoblocks in the future. Cost about $2000.00
5. Dump all this stuff and stare at my new Axioms.

Now when I say monoblocks above, I mean 3 of them for the fronts and center.

I know most will choose option 5...but please. I am not sure what direction to take here. I have done my research and chosen what I think are all excellent in the high current area to drive my speakers. However, I want to do this right once and sit back for a while until the upgrade bug bites and or the IRS gives me a lot of lost money.

THANKS in Advance!!!!
