My quest for a cheap 5.1 receiver to power 4x Behringer 2030P's and a future center/sub has led me to these final options. Which should I pick?
Note: These picks are based on prices and availability in Turkey, please do not suggest other items as the prices will be way off or the item not available.
PIONEER VSX-D514 ~400YTL, $330

*This one looks nice to me but it is an old one from the 2004 series.
JVC RX-5062RSL ~330YTL, $270
http://av.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL027647&pathId=5&page=1
*I really like the price on this one although it says 10% THD which scares me because all the others have 1% or less, what would that mean in terms of sound quality? I have also read somewhere that this is an "internally analog" amp. Is that bad? Would you pick this one over the Pioneer?
JVC RX-D201 ~460YTL, $380
http://www.jvc-australia.com/JVC/client/c_products_details.jsp?catID=7&prodID=84
*I could move up to the next JVC but the price comes really close to the next option. This one has 7 channels and many features, although I am mostly interested in sound quality and 5.1 playback.
Yamaha RX-V361 ~500YTL, $410
http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=552118
*This looks nice as well, although it is a 2007 series model, the 363 has not arrived here yet. It is also the most expensive.
Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated! I am both budget minded and this country is difficult to shop! thanks!
