I am a newbie to sound - please forgive me for my ignorance.
I am looking for a compact 6.1 and sub-$300 AV receiver and saw these two models "JVC Receiver RX-F10 and Onkyo Receiver TX-LR552".
Onkyo is a known brand, but the wattage of 65W is less than the JVC model's 100W. Should I prefer JVC for the more wattage or should I compromise the wattage for a better quality of Onkyo?
I could not find either of these model in local stores and both are available online only. Hence I have no way of listening to them before making the purchase.
Request for your sincere guidance.
