Hey,
Can anyone suggest a nice 7.1 receiver for under $300 and great for music.
Let me explain before anyone jumps up and say why multi channel for music.
I am in the process of building my basement. It has 2 main rooms and one long room. One room will be dedicated for HT. I am interested in setting up 6 speakers in that long room and am looking for a musical receiver. This room is approximately 33' long and 18' wide. I have 4 Definite Techs., Pro 80 (2 Spk),
Pro 100 (2 Spk) and 2 of Tannoy's (Fusion 2) . I will be spreading them along the length of the hall and also planning to add a Sub to add some bass to my music. I wanted 7.1 receiver as I wanted to run these speakers in 7 Ch Stereo mode.
So far I have heard Onkyo TX-SR503 in that price range and somewhat liked it. Does anybody have any idea if Marantz 4400 or 4500 would do better.
If you guys have better suggestions please feel free to say it. I will really appreciate it.
Regards,
R
