Hey all,
Been some time since I was on the Axiom forums! I'm back because I need some expert advice.
I've got M60s, VP150 and QS8 currently connected to a HK AVR135 in a roughly 800 sq ft room. I'm really happy with the set up but I was thinking about upgrading the system to clean up some of the wire clutter (current AVR doensn't do HDMI) and to take advantage of the HD audio formats.
The current AVR seems to have enough power for the room size, usually not set past -15, and would be connected to a PS3 and a HTPC for the moment.
Ok, it's been a little while since I researched these things.
1) Is there a cole's notes list of things I should look for in the $500 price range? E.g. HDMI 1.4 w/ audio return channel, plays all the HD formats, analog upconverting, etc.
2) Are there some standouts in terms of AVRs at this price point?
Also, I'm using a digital antenna for tv. Is there some way that I could route that through my AVR and then send to the tv through HDMI?
Any advice is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Jordan
