The others to look at in that price range are the new digital receivers from Panasonic's XR series or the JVC RX-F10.
Best HT Receiver for Digital Cable...
Hi,
First off I would like to say this is a great place for HT info and thanks for all your responses.
I'm in a process of building a simple HT setup. I have put a Sony KDF-55XS955 LCD RPTV on the top of my list as well as the Infinity TSS-1100 for speaker duties. Now I need to find a HT receiver.
I watch all my TV and movies through my digital receiver provided my local cable co. in Canada (not satelite). I need a high quality receiver to decode the receivers 5.1 movie signals. Since I rarely buy or rent DVDs I came up with either the Denon AVR-1705 or the Sony STR-DE897.
Is there anything cheaper/better for my application?
Thanks again!
