Another option to consider; buy the receiver that provides the best bang for your budget. Then in a few years if you have the funds, buy a separate amp and use the receiver as a pre amp. Then if you want, you can have a two channel amp for two channel listening and still use your receiver for all multi-channel tasks.
Pre Pro And Amplifier Instead Of Receiver
My Onkyo 807 receiver just quit.
How would you spend your money if you had $1200.00 or less to spend on a pre owned pre pro and amplifier for 5.1 home theater?
I seem to use my system in a very basic way just watching satellite tv and blue ray. I occasionally stream net flix thru apple tv. My speakers are salk songtowers and are efficient. I enjoy great sound quality within the budget.
