so do i and the onkyo's look good with awards and recomendations from what hifi ! and which ! in a range of price tags, but you didn't mention what your linking it up to ? i want 1 that i can run my pc through to and i'm not sure the onkyo's can do this .but is't a question i've put to the forum so if you need pc connectivity as well you can look and see if i get a reply there.plus are you hd ? the onkyo's can do this, i think some can upscale
and 500 should get there unless you've a massive space to fill with sound ,or the rest of your system is kicka*se in which case you may need the full 1000 for the onkyo tx-sr875.
still which ever you go for enjoy .
