Looking to purchase a reciever.. which one?

[DezNutz]

Thanks for the input. I am not limited to a budget as I will pay for quality if it is out there.. looking to see if quality matches the price point. I notice Sony recievers seem to be a bit over priced for what you get.

Lots of recommendations for the Denon series, so I will start looking at those a little more.

Right now I have Bose Acoustamass III series I believe, ya know the two cubes x 5 and box bass... I know they are not the best speakers, and I am in process of actually upgrading all components of my home theaters, but figured I would start with the receiver.

I am also looking at the Pioneer Kuro Elite 60" that came out.. looks like best picture for a larger screen size of any TV models I have seen.. need 1080p and that delivers..

I guess my question would be is the Denon worth the price difference with say the Onkyo? On papers it looks like they both deliver solid comparable stats. I do not care much about difficulty to setup, I am a network engineer and can get through any commercial product setup. I guess I would be paying for the known historical Denon performance over say a newer not really tested long term product in the Onkyo?
