A buddy of mine asked me to get him some speakers and set him up with a complete system. He’s a smart guy, but when it comes to electronics, he’s dangerous. I need to find him a decent receiver that will be difficult for him to screw up after I get it set up. I had thought I’d just get him a 3808, but have had second thoughts. I know he’ll end up screwing something up with that receiver. It’s just too complicated for him.

I haven’t bothered looking to see what’s out there in the last several months. Anyone have some suggestions?

It isn’t driving much, just some of the new Axiom Accent speakers and an EP400 in a real wood Walnut finish. Price isn’t an issue either.

It needs 3 HDMI 1.3 inputs.
