Last generation receiver to pair with oppo BDP-95

Don't mean to confuse or complicate things but here is a very good performing and musical Marantz with HDMI 1.3a and multichannel analog inputs from 2008. Refurbished from authorized dealer with warranty.

AAnative, I understand your motivations for looking for a pre-HDMI receiver, but audio and video processing technology has rapidly improved over the past few years. You might be well off going with a suggestion like Bill had above. The ability to do HDMI switching can result in a much simplified way of switching sources. Considering that many people have a Blu-Ray player, cable TV, XBox, etc having only one place to do the switching makes things MUCH easier.

So I wouldn't discount some of the newer options.

IMHO, of course.

Thanks for the responses. I have narrowed it down to either a b&k avr-307 (only 400-500 used) or an elite sc-35 or sc37 (800-1200 new).

I don't mind manual switching of hdmi and probably would feed the oppo directly to maximize video performance either way. I am concerned about setup however as the b&k would need many manual tweaks. The elite receivers have the mic and auto setup but they cost two to three times more than the used b&k.
