After talking with John at Axiom, I've decided to upgrade my H/K AVR130 to something with more power.
My question is, what reciever would you guys recomend in the "bang for the buck" category. I would really like to stick with H/K just because I dont like the idea of learning a new remote and a recievers "bells and whistles". But any brand with ease of use and good quality is acceptable.
I'm sure this has all been covered on a previous thread, but quite frankly I'm just to lazy to look. Please bare with me.
P.S. Bass management flexability is a must. Also I like that H/K saves my settings for each individual source.

Bray,
I just recently bought the Denon AVR2805 and have been very happy with it. I got a good deal from a local dealer. Has all the connections for SACD, etc. It is a 7.1 receiver and has the auto EQ speaker setup that I liked. Comes with the omnidirectional microphone. I think it is pretty easy to use. I had an older H/K, can't remember model, that I gave to my dad and he is still using it in his HT setup. Personally I prefer the Denon a little better. The sound with it and my Axioms is great.

Don't you mean 6 channel inputs for SACD? 6 channel outs would be good if you later wanted to add a dedicated power amp.

Also UNDER $600.00 would be great. The more "under" the better.
(just spent $700.00 on a new sub) THIS IS KILLING MY BANK ACCT.!!!!!!!!!

How about this Denon 3803. It is from an authorized Denon e-tailer, is factory refurbished by Denon, and comes with a 1 year warranty.

That looks great, but after shipping I just couldnt afford it right now.
The new Mac I wanted is already out the window.

Hey so, on this note, what are the real differences between the 3803 and the 3805? I'd like to convince myself that it's silly to get the 3805, but if there are real features I would miss I'd rather go with the higher end.
