What Receiver Should I Choose?

i have another remote thats all touch screen, pretty cool, i can do macros with that unit too. i can controll my ceiling fans, window blinds, ps2, all my audio/video equipment too. i was a gift from my sister and wife combined. i know it cost them an arm and a leg, but i had to have the 'gadgets'
when my yammy acted up, it was while watching a dts movie only, but when it did act up, every source was full of static, even tuner.
i am awaiting word on the unit still, its only been 1 day so far. the salesman was surprised that i told him i had problems. the place is called b'jorns audio.... one of the ritzy places here, and more expensive, but i had a deal on this yammy @ $599
i have read multiple sites on this unit as well as the onkyo, and last night i was doing more research on them both.
i also subscribe to home theater magazines too, so i rely on them for info, which you can never have enough info now a days.
anyway, i have said enough now, i need to go on a test drive, this customer is wondering why i am the puter instead of the car.
i will look forward to the link you have !!!

good day !

 

Hey Gear! Will send that web site as soon as I can; fire in my building yesterday and the power was out so I stayed at a friends. Hope you are well...Gerry

 

sorry I haven't posted lately everybody! Shortly after I first posted I went and got an old Denon DRA-210 receiver. It is 200 watts, and I only paid 80 bucks for it. It seems like a pretty good receiver. I am still going to get some better speakers eventually though. Also, I believe it used to have a remote but it did not come with one because I bought it used. Does anyone know if this model uses a remote control? I saw a remote for a similar denon model for 240$!! There is no way i'm gonna pay that much for a remote.

 

@ ethanpp77........not sure if you will still be able to find that remote, try e-bay, overstock.com, or amazon.com for it. a universal may work, but your funstions will be limited big time. and most of these receivers now a days rely heavily on remotes for accessing menus.

but personally, i'd buy a newer receiver anyway, but thats just me, and they are reasonably priced, some lower price ranged ones can start out at or around a few bills, and go up to the thousands.... the sky is the limit really. mine set me back nearly 650 just for the receiver, but my unit prior to this new upgrade was only 269, which by the way, i have been trying to sell, but now decided to just give it to my sister.

@ gerry1...... sorry to hear about that fire, hope all is well !
i just called the service center where i took my yammy to get looked at, and they have no clue, so i may just strom in there and raise hell about it, then get my money back, or an exchange, and if they give me hassle, i will demand my money back and just by the onkyo from circut city and save me a hundred bucks...
