Onkyo or Denon? Onkyo TX-SR505 or HT-sr600? HELP!?

Question

I am going to buy a new surround sound system I can get a Onkyo TX-SR505 or HT-sr600 for the same price the HT-sr600 is all in one package, but TX-SR505 is just receiver. I have a PS3 and HDTV... I want the best quality, at a good price... is one of these the best options or is Denon a better brand? Or a different brand around $200... Right now I have a pioneer receiver and crappy speakers...

Answer 1

I vote for either of the Onkyos.

Answer 2

I would always go with Onkyo.  There's a darn good reason why it's pricey.
