Blu-ray Forum - View Single Post - Best entry level AV Receiver in your opinion ?

Elandyll · 08-05-2009, 04:21 PM

I am perusing forums left and right for a possible future buy of a HD audio AV receiver.
A recent comparison guide by Audioholics was, I thought, very informative, but I figured, hey, why not ask their opinion to the Blu community?

I decided to include in the Poll receivers (specifically HD decoding capable receivers) starting around $300 and up to $500 -max-, and always preferably in the middle (the goal is really to see what might be the best bang for the buck).

Receivers included:

Denon AVR 590
Pioneer VSX 919H
Yamaha RX-V565
Harman Kardon AVR 255
Onkyo TX-SR507
Sony STR-DH800

so .. What say you ?

Edit: some are reporting the possibility of finding the Pioneer 1019 within the price range.
If this would be your choice, please feel free to vote for the 919 and indicate in a post below that you'd go for the sub $500 1019

This being said, the goal is not necessarily to be rigth at $499.99, but the best bang for the buck in the middle (around $400) if such a thing exists
