Receiver Suggestion

[Nawlins]

I have a 50" Panny 1080p,

Phase Technology CI-150 (4 ohm) Frt
which incorporates a Center Channel (8 ohm) in it

Phase Tech - Octave 12 powered sub

Phase Tech - CI 7.2s - 4 mounted in the ceiling

After reading a number of posts, I am looking for a receiver that can handle these speakers, 2/3 zone controls, HDMI and component, Siruis, Blu Ray (yet to be purchased)

I do want to hook the receiver up to my computer to play music, pix and be nicely intergrated for video when that may happen.

From what I see the Yamaha seems to have this feature at this point.

Im looking at 800 - 1500 price point.

Nice site, good reading,

1st Post....

Thanks,

Nawlins

P.S. I was reading that running the receiver set at 6-8 ohm would be optimal even though my fronts are 4 ohm,

Are there any issues with doing this....

Best Video processor on the market right now....
great amp section as well... lots of inputs and outputs to 1080p

the 1st gen yamas with networking, are still a little hit and miss, you might be better served looking at a seperate component to handle that. Aside from the networking, their units are very cabable for handling your goodies. Demo a couple a brands if your not sure( pio, denon, onk, yama all make great intergrated products,and list goes on).
