receiver with PS3 for $250 or less - Blu-ray Forum

burkewm · 07-12-2008, 11:46 PM

I've done a lot of research on this for the last month, but just can't bring myself to pull the trigger yet... I want to be able to play lossless audio, but i don't have the budget right now to shell out 4 or 500 bucks for a receiver alone. I have noticed people talking about the yamaha 663 and the onkyo 605, but can't seem to find a good deal on those. I thought about the Sony DG520, but it only has HDMI pass-through. I'd like to be able to hear lossless audio coming from my PS3 on 5 channels for around $400, is it possible? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

New Sony STR-DG720, or a refurb Marantz 4001, or a refurb Onkyo 605.

I could be wrong, but isnt the Marantz 4001 HDMI v1.1? If you do want a Marantz, go for the Marantz 4002 because it has HDMI v1.3.
