Hey Im new to this audio stuff. Im looking to buy a reasonable reciever. I have read that watts dont really matter, so I'll just ask you. Im looking at this reciever:http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...est%5Fcookie=1 I want a reciever for watching movies some times loud and listening to music. Do you believe this a decent reciever or is this missing really big features. Mind you I dont really care about DTS.(Im a dolby man) thank you
I'm a DTS man and you don't know what you are missing. LOL. I clicked on your link but it doesn't go to the page you want us to look at. Just post the Brand and Model.
He [bold]did[/bold] list it in the thread title............. It seems to have everything you'll need, unless you need HDMI switching. Of course, at your price point, you're not gonna have a lot of digital inputs (digital coax or optical). JVC gives a lot of bang for the buck. As long as you don't have a lot of equipment to hookup to it, you should be ok. I have and use a JVC, and love it. I've had two in the past 14 years. The first one was a Dolby Pro Logic receiver. I had it for 9 years. I upgraded to a 5.1 receiver, and have had it almost 5 years. Never a minute's trouble from either one. Here is a link to it: http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL027647&pathId=5&page=2 If you get it, let us know how you like it.
You are right. He did told us the model. If you take a look at the time I posted my answer, you'll know why I missed it. Damn insomnia!!! I'm a big fan of JVC, Pioneer and Yamaha receivers. It has nice features, but it bothers me that it has a 10% THD. To me that's too high. Other receivers keep it below 1%. Here's a list of some models within the $180-$200 price range. Yamaha HTR-5830 5.1 Home Theater Receiver YAMAHA HTR-5930 5.1 Home Theater Receiver Pioneer VSX-515-K 6.1 Home Theater Receiver PIONEER PIO VSX516-S 7.1 Home Theater Receiver JVC RX-D205S 7.1 Home Theater Receiver JVC RXD206B 7.1 Home Theater Receiver JVC RX-D201S 7.1 Home Theater Receiver Some of the models are discontinued, especially the 5.1 models. For that reason you can get them very cheap. I just listed them in case you have a tight budget. If I were you, I'd take a look at the 7.1 Receivers since you can use them in a 5.1 and 6.1 setting too.
