All,
I'm looking for a receiver for ~$500. My budget is flexible. I can go +/- several hundred dollars, I'm just looking to get the best thing I can in approximately this price range. I do about 50/50 music and movies. I don't care about some of the newest features like 3d support, but it would be nice for future upgrades. Key features would be good/great 2 channel performance along with at least 4 HDMI inputs. So far I have been seriously considering the Yamaha RX-V667, but I'm sure there are other models out there that I should be looking at! Also, when do next year's models come out, should I be waiting for that?
