A little help/advice please

[brianh78]

Hey guys,

Im a bit overwhelmed with all this stuff, but here goes. Since I dont have a big buget at all (like 250-300max the wife says). I have been looking at getting a new reciever to replace one 6yr old Technics reciever thats on its way out. Based on lots of previous posts I have been looking at the H/K 254, Sony something 800, or onkyo 507. Best I can tell is they will all play audio through hdmi as well as video obvisouly. Can anyone shed some insight into the above models and pros/cons please, I would be most appreciative. Just looking for something kind of basic with hd audio.
I am running dish network hd via hdmi, xbox360 componet(one of the first non-hdmi models) and a sony bdp-bx1 blu-ray also via hdmi if that helps...oh also my speakers are Audiosource brand that does say on back 8ohms. Thanks

Brian
