I need a receiver. Actually, I also need speakers, but assuming I go with the Axioms...
I'm looking at the Sony DA1ES. I also like the standard products from Onkyo, and Denon, but at the price point (about $500 US), I'm not interested in paying for 6 or 7 channels of processing and (lower wattage) amplification, I'd rather spend it on quality for basic 5.1 operation. Actually, what I really am looking for is an outstanding stereo receiver that also happens to do Dolby Digital and DTS.
Anyone running a Sony DA(x)ES receiver or have any other thoughts on this?
