Last generation receiver to pair with oppo BDP-95


Could someone point me in the right direction? I am looking for a non HDMI 5.1 receiver to run a setup for a small room with b&w 685's all around. I would pair this with the oppo bdp-95 and use the analog outs for decoding. What receivers could I look at on the used market that would have the best audio? I would be looking for 5.1 only as i have no room for two extra speakers.

I have the stereo outs of the oppo going to my bryston amp and driving some modified DQ-10's.

Thanks for the help.

AAnative, I understand your motivations for looking for a pre-HDMI receiver, but audio and video processing technology has rapidly improved over the past few years. You might be well off going with a suggestion like Bill had above. The ability to do HDMI switching can result in a much simplified way of switching sources. Considering that many people have a Blu-Ray player, cable TV, XBox, etc having only one place to do the switching makes things MUCH easier.

So I wouldn't discount some of the newer options.

IMHO, of course.
