Receivers (Higher End)

Looking to buy a good receiver with at least 4 HDMI inputs (360/Blu-Ray/HD DVD/etc...) in the 1K - 2K range.

Currently, I'm liking this one:

Anyone with any experience or thoughts? Thanks.

damnit, I thought we were getting some nice buttsex pictures.


My neighbor owns that, he likes it. The remote sucks though.

I am partial to Denon, this is basically what I have without HDMI.

What kind of speakers do you use with your Denon?

I have a pair of the Quad L22, along with the L center channel. Quad is known for their electrostatic speakers (expensive, high maintenance), but their traditional speakers (the L) is actually really good value for the money. The L22 retails for $1500/pair I think, but I found a pair used on audiogon for $900. They sound really really good.

I just need to get a subwoofer.

Other speakers you should look into:

Axiom

Paradigm <- Reference line is incredible...

Energy

Totem

If you really want to spend money and spoil yourself, get a pair of Von Schweikert. If I ever upgrade (i.e. move to a house with a dedicated HT room), I will spend 10k on some V speakers.

EDIT: I see your divorce is finally going through... ;)

I was going to suggest an H/K or an Onkyo, but it seems like neither make anything with 4 inputs..

LOL! Any day now.

The Denon AVR-3808 has gotten really good reviews at Home Theater Forum and in mags. It's $1599 MSRP with 4 HDMI inputs, and comes with a microphone/auto calibration system so you don't ever have to calibrate again with a sound meter. I would buy one right now if I had the cash. :\

Yup, that's the one I linked to (even tho the url says 3510). I would upgrade if I had the cash too. But mine still works and it was cheaper just to get a HDMI switch (for now).
