ONKYO HT-693 OR DENON AVRS900 ???

[ballistixxx]

I was gifted a new BOSE Acoustimass 6 Series III speaker set and am now compelled to set up a second room in my home. The room is 13 x 20. Movies, gaming and music will be the general use. I have 2 receiver options available here locally within my budget,... but not sure which of the two may be better suited for the speakers and/or needs. The receivers are as follows:

A) DENON AVRS900
B) ONKYO HT-693 (Receiver that normally comes as part of Onkyo's HT-S7700 Surround Package)

Input/Opinions would be greatly appreciated. I am far from being classified as an "audiophile",... so keeping it simple will be very beneficial for me! lol!

Thanks in advance.

Either will work well with your speakers and bring out the best they have to offer but I've always been partial to Denon.

Whichever receiver you get, make sure you set it to NO SUBWOOFER and all speakers to LARGE.
