Denon AVR-X1300W

Just got one to replace an old Pioneer and it's fantastic for the price. If you want a brand new one they are on Amazon for $299.

If you are dead set on getting one of the above, the Yamaha would get my vote.

Without knowing what set of speakers and what your connectivity needs are, what features you like are, etc really hard to advise other than sure they'll work.....and while I'd rather get the suggested Denon X1300, in your list I'd also vote the Yamaha.

Looks like a good choice...Does X1300 has phono input as well? or i can use any of the audio input for turn table? For speakers i might get entry level from fluance - http://www.fluance.com/sxhtbw-high-definition-surround-sound-home-theater-speaker-system.

Your turntable doesn't require a phono input unless you want to bypass the on-board phono stage that unit has, you can use any line level input. You'll need to look to a higher level avr to get a phono input these days in any case. That X1300 should work well enough with the Fluance speakers, altho I'd look to the sub specialists like SVS, Rythmik, Hsu etc.

Just got one too and am also very happy with it. Especially when you consider the price.

I would go with this instead:

YAMAHA RX-A660

I have had good luck with Yamaha receivers over the years, and their Aventage line is good.

I just ordered from accessories4less my AVR came in Friday of last week. Went with Yamaha TSR-7790. I Went with that unit, pre-amp outs, paired it with a Emotive XPA-5 1st gen. Saved myself 5 bills going with accessories4less love that site. Check out the TSR-7790 really nice unit now it doesn't have Atmos or DTS-X but everything else. I am new to this forum but not to audio/video. Some like/want Atmos DTS-X those sound formats just wasn't that important to me.
