Advice on new Receiver

[syphon7]

Hey, I am new to these forums, and higher end audio in general. I am looking to buy a new receiver to go along with the Klipsch F-2 speakers I just bought. I would like to keep it under 300 if possible. In terms of use, I will be doing most things with this setup, watching tv, music, movies and video games. I don't need any particular connections, however component video would be a nice thing to have. Thanks a lot for the help guys!

Receiver options

I would check out the Yamaha RX-V659 or HTR-5960. They have plenty of power and features including pre-amp outputs, auto calibration, component video switching and format conversion. I have a similar model, the HTR-5860 and recommend it.

I wouldn't worry about HDMI or more video features in your price range.

I just bought the 659 and am thrilled with it. I paid $345 but I've seen it for under $300 lately. Gaming inputs are right on the front! Check it out here...

Haha yea, I didn't think I would have to worry about finding one with an HDMI connector. Those two look pretty good though, thanks.
