help decide what av receiver under $1k to choose


Hi,

I'm a beginner home theater geek. After googling I understood that AV receiver is one of the main things in general setup. My budget is about $10k on all elements of a build. Any ideas?

Denon X3400 (7ch), which can also be had for cheaper as a factory refurb sold by Accessories4Less. There is also the Marantz 6012 (9ch, expandable to 11ch with external 2ch power amp). Unless you need 13ch, no need to spend more than these, they are already good quality (super linear FR, unclipped 4Vrms pre-outs, >90dB SNR, ~2dB of dynamic power over rated RMS wattage, etc.).
