AVR147 vs 810?

[scorpionkingct]

I am trying to get rid of 710.

Need receiver for MPCM for 5.1 on hd movies with bluray as 710 only gives me 2 CH PCM not Multi-PCM

whats better for my configuration, I want a MPCM that can handle 5.1 on A2 and S301 players.

Harman Kardon AVR147 Home Theater <200 watt> Price- 300.00
5 x 40W 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver With HDMI™ Switching

SOny 810 (660 watt)- price 349.99

Or will the AVR147 be too little wattage? I want to get rid of 710.

I would one step higher and get the 910 from Sony...... Its more compatible with what u have I think. Of course there is other choices if u want to spend more..... lol.
