A/V Receiver match for Mits 57833 & Axiom Epic 60-500 6.1

[GaryWooldridge]

Looking for recommendations for a good A/V Receiver match for Mits 57833 & Axiom Epic 60-500 6.1. I like the Onkyo TX-SR875 but am concerned with the heating issues I have been reading about. I have the speakers already and have ordered the TV - expect it next week.

Cheers,
Gary W.

I really like the sound of my Denon, and IMHO, it sounds better than the Yamaha (HTR - 5890) I had before this.

Whats your budget, what features are you looking for? This info will help narrow down the selections.

I don't want to spend more than $2000, since the rest of my budget is slotted for the TV and credenza. I've did some comparison shopping and like the Denon 4308CI so far...

You might even go down to the Denon 3808.

I also have an Axiom setup only in a 7.1 configuration. jseman1.googlepages.com

If you don't need HDMI then I recommend the Pioneer VSX-817 receiver. Utilizing MCACC makes it sound very good IMO.

Gary,
Nice speakers.
Any mid-fi receiver in the $1k price range from Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, Pioneer, etc. should have plenty of power for your 8 ohm Axiom speakers. I would save a little money on the receiver and put it towards an HD source like HD-DVD or BluRay. An HD source will always look better than an SD source with a good scaler.

Also check out the seperates from Emotiva in your budget. They will be releasing new pre-pros early next year and existing owners will get 40% off. The new models will have 4 HDMI inputs, auto setup, EQ, etc.
