Receiver Recommendation Needed

[cpmiller22]

Hi All-

I'm setting up a new home theater system in my living room and need some advice on a new receiver. I currently have an Onkyo tx-ds696 which has served me well with my Paradigm speaker set, but now I need something that supports HDMI. So my new setup is going to be the following:

-60" Visio LED TV
-5 in-ceiling speakers. Likely to be Sonance VP63r or sprakercraft aim5
-10" sub. Not sure which one, but perhaps something like a MartinLogan Dynamo500
-cable box
-hdmi htpc

I don't have a need for lots of fancy extras, I just want a quality receiver that will sound nice with the above setup, isn't overkill from a power or features perspective, and I don't want to spend more that I have to.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I would ideally like something <500, but I'm not sure if I can get a quality AVR in that price range so looking for suggestions.

Thanks for the link on the Sub! I just measured my sub cabinet and there isn't room for that big guy in there, which is too bad b/c that looks like a screaming deal. I think I will have to stay with a 10" sub.

Sounds like its time for a new sub cabinet lol...

Honestly you don't need to spend $500 to power your setup especially if your not looking for the bells and hula hoops...
