What is good option of home stereo receiver on the market?

Question

i recently lost my pioneer receiver. i lost it to a storm surge even though it was on a surge protector. it was a good receiver for the $250 i paid and i am just wanting some suggestions for when i go about replacing it. i would prefer to stick to major brands but other than that tell me what you have liked and disliked. i will need to run a sattellite, a dvd, a wii, cd player, and computer system sound through it. thanks

Answer 1

It totally depends on how much you want to spend. If you are gonna stick in the $300 dollar range it truly wont matter.  The tech. specs on entry level receivers is almost identical. (Yamaha, Sony, Pioneer, Onkyo). If you want to step up a level to like the $500 range, check out Denon, Onkyo, Harmon Kardon and Yamaha. Ive installed them all and they are all exceptional in their own right, but I perfer the Denon and Onkyo.

Answer 2

buy a kenwood or pioneer receiver.my only dislike is that some models don't have pre amp subwoofer outputs.

Answer 3

Harmon Kardon can't be beat and are reasonably priced

go to the Harmon Kardon site and

check out the HK 3385

Answer 4

I love my Onkyo stereo that I got in the early '90s. It's still going strong, and sounds great! It higher end then Sony, JVC and Pioneer, but not rediculously priced.
