Hunt around, you can find the denon 3808ci for around $900. Incredible
receiver for the bang.

Subject: [H] A/V receivers?
Sent: May 2
Hey,
I'm not ready to purchase for a good while, but I was wondering what
everybody's opinions are on the current crop of A/V receivers. My budget
would probably be in the $400-$900 range. And if you'd like to throw in
some opinions for speakers, that would be great.
Thanks,
Bobby

Correct on sound over HDMI. If your receiver can do video switching, then
you can hook multiple different formats up to it (Component, composite,
HDMI) and output just one video cable (HDMI). Ditto with audio switching,
and of course the same HDMI cable can carry both the video and audio signal.

I guess I'd like to get a HTiB for under $500 for speakers and Receiver.
I'd prefer to have small form factor speakers, but I can continue to use
what I have (crappy HTiB from a long time ago that get the job done).
I need to move to HDMI since I've got HD stuff now.

What budget are you all looking at for speakers? I have Energy Speakers and
love them. Again, I would present your budget to the avsforum guys are see
what they have to say :)
Looks like the newer version of mine is on ebay for a decent price:

Chris,
No idea on the class 2 wiring however I would use this standard for your
choice of speaker cable:
* For less than 50 feet to the speakers or volume control, 16AWG is fine
* From 50 feet to 100 feet use 14AWG
* For 100 feet or more use 12AWG
As far as speakers i'm a total no

The only difference I can see is the number of inputs, which may or may not
be an issue (3 vs. 4 HDMI). I would look up/ask on avsforums about the two
receivers. Personally, I've always liked Denon receivers (I've owned two
and loved them), but the folks over at avs really know their stuff.Julian
Answering myself:
Anyone have opinions on the 2 sony items listed here:

OK, my budget isn't huge with this, but I'm looking to replace my A/V
stuff slowly.
I currently have:
36" 1080p HDTV
Series 2 TiVo (You can have it when you pry it from my cold dead fingers,
or replace it with an HD version =)
Non-Upscaling DVD player
JVC A/V Receiver which supports SD only
