If Home Theater is the focus, Yamaha has killer proprietary processors that are hard to beat. Waiting just a bit for the purchase will get you HDMI switching as well, extreamly usefull if coupling with a Sat receiver and DVD player both having DVI or HDMI output, assuming your video monitor has that as well. I'd purchase nothing new without HDMI switching.
HarmanKardon, Yamaha or Denon
I'm at a purchasing stand-off. I am looking to purchase a receiver for my home theater. The main usage for this unit will be movies, although music (Jazz, Classic Rock and Big Bands) sound will be important.
I am looking at a Denon 2805 or 2105, Yamaha RX-V757 or 1500 and Harman Kardon 635, 1005 or 2005.
I’m leaning towards the Denon’s or HK’s because of the high current amplifiers and higher capacity capacitors over the digital realm of the Yamaha’s. The Speakers are Polk audio RTI6 in the rear, RTI28’s in the surround middle channel and the front will be towers such as Polk RTI8’s or 10’s or possibly Wharfedale Opal 90 Towers. The center is a Jamo D 5.
A little feedback as to which direction some of you would take and why may give me the information I need. Thanks in advance for those who participate.
