I'm about to pull the trigger and buy a new AVR.
My criteria:
I listen to more music than movies, so I want it to be good on music (especially acoustic stuff - classical, jazz).
I need 2 HDMI ports - I have HD cable tv and will be getting a blue ray player sometime soon. I will also be hooking up a CD player, my old DVD player (via component) and a phono.
If it doesn't have a phono input I will need to buy one, and that needs to be figured into the price.
Budget is $550 max.
So I have decided on a Denon 2808CI. I'm holding out hope I can find a sale or an open boxed Denon 2808CI, but if not I'm thinking of going with the 2308CI.
My question, are there any receivers I'm overlooking that would meet my criteria.
Thanks for the help!
