Best AV Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR708
HDMI 1.4, 3D performance and all of the bells and whistles you could ever dream of, makes the Onkyo TX-NR708 this year's best receiver. Considering the amount of features you get for the money - your value is through the roof.

Disclaimer: I'm not afilliated with Onkyo or NewEgg. I'm new here so I can't (yet) post links so you'll need to add the "www" in front of the above links

PS: I'm anti-big box stores for HT gear so I wouldn't buy anything from BB (just my opinion)
