I'm ready ...

[BluFunk]

to get a new receiver .

I had been running a old Sony reveiver (like 1994 ,with 5.0 SURROUND) until it finally bit the dust a few weeks ago ! So it's time for a new one ! Originally (Pre Blu-Ray.com) I was going to get a HTIB ,just so I had some ok sound for the movies/games ! Well after lurkin around here for about a month or so I changed my mind . Gonna get the receiver and sub first ....then fill in the rest of the speakers I need .

Do I have this basicly right ***Onkyo 605 compares to Yamaha 663 ,and Onkyo 805 compares to the Yamaha 863 ?***I gave myself 500 for reviecer ! First off are these 4 the only one's in this range worth talking about . Secondly(my personal choice)is the 863 is that the best one of the 4 options ?

Thanks for any input !
