Anyone have experience? - Blu-ray Forum

I have been shopping Rotel receivers, and I think I'm going to go another direction, as I need the HDMI IN/OUTs.....

I'm currently looking at these, and if anyone has any personal experiences/suggestions other than these, it will save me HOURS of setup and auditioning (as I don't plan on buying anything until I listen to it in my home) I'm looking for the cleanest, best sounding power-source for my budget.

NAD - T-765 (looks good on paper, and I know many people have NADs (what a pun) and I personally haven't listened to one before.

Onkyo TX-NR905 THX® Ultra2 (I know there are a lot of Onkyo fans here....again, it's a brand I don't have hands on experience with because my shop of choice doesn't carry them)

Adcom GFR-700 (I like the options this one provides)

Marantz SR7002 Select2 or Marantz SR8001 (leaning towards these since I love Marantz' products)

Any pro's and Con's would be greatly appreciated...... and as always, if there are better options, I'd love to hear it. I'm not opposed to separates, but they're out of my budget.

I can't comment on the brands you mentioned but for me personally, I think you can't go wrong with a Denon.

Buy one that comes with HDMI switching and upscaling capability and can decode the new High Res codecs such as DTS-HD/MA and Dolby TrueHD. Any of the new Denon models like 4308, 3808 or 2808 will do, depending on your budget.
