Thanks for the reponses. To tell the truth, I really hate that I am looking at receivers period! It doesn't seem like that long ago that I bought my current receiver. (although the years do pass quickly!, I guess its been about 6!) I am very happy with it still, plenty of power and sounds great, but as I've mentioned the lack of HDMI will irk me knowing that this receiver is holding me back from my best picture.

With that said, I really don't want to spend a lot of money but I also don't want to really go down from what I have in terms of power and quality. This is why I mentioned the receiver that I did (Pioneer Elite 21). I have begun to look at the Yamaha and Denon as well. It apperas I need to see which model I can afford from each manufacturer and pick the one that will give me the best value, eh?

Any other advice/comments is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
