So, being Boxing Day sales and all, I'm looking to pick up a receiver for my mancave. I'm looking at spending about $500 before tax.
The Yamaha HTR6250B caught my eye -
Audio: Home Audio & Speakers: Yamaha 7.1 Channel Receiver (HTR6250B) | Best Buy Canada Web Store
7.1, Upscaling, accepts audio over HDMI, multiple digital audio inputs. I've got a 46" Aquos, Shaw HD-PVR, PS3 I use for DVD and Blurays, and Wii to connect to it. I'm probably just going 5.1 on the speakers, but the 7.1 is a nice option in case we move.
Anything wrong with this pick? Other suggestions in the same price range?
I'm also looking for suggestions for speakers/subs. Ideally, I'd like to spend less than $1000 total before tax for the whole system.
Thanks,
Gord
