Hi,

I am setting up my HT and I was wondering which A/V receiver to get. I am looking for a receiver that has 3 HDMI (1 output, 2 inputs), have 7.1, can do 8 and 4 ohms (considering getting the M80's). I was thinking of getting the Onkyo TX-SR674. But I heard people had problems with the receiver.

My budget is about ~$1000 or less.

Thanks, looking forward to seeing your input.

Paul,

Look at the Denon website. All Denons drive the M80s (even though not spec'd to 4 Ohms). They are very reasonably priced. I am very happy with my 2105 (which is a bottom end Denon).

That's the first time I've ever seen Denons referred to as reasonably priced...

Denon or HK are great for 4 ohm loads.

I quite like Denon myself. You can find their products much cheaper, refurbished, at www.ecost.com, if you'd like. They have some lower end Denon's for less than $200, and mid range for less than $600.

from checking out DENON's site, if I was to choose DNEON I would opt for the AVR-2807 or AVR-2307CI.

I'm going by personal experience. I bought my 2105 2 years ago for $Can350. When I found out everything it could do for that price, I was shocked. I was also surprised when I confirmed that they could easily drive M80s.

I purchased my Denon 2805 at a local retail electronics store. At the time it listed for $900 and I purchased it for about $700 during a big sale day. It has been great. Have never experienced using online etailers for Denon, but I'm sure there are some good reputible ones....

In Canada, Denon is very reasonably priced compared to HK, which is unreasonably priced.

I think it's the other way around in the States. That explains the amount of Denons around here.
