Please help - Av Receiver purchase

[tingfoley]

Hi, This is my first post so please be gentle

I am looking to buy a semi decent AV receiver for my Bowers and Wilkins 683-S2 surround sound set

I have the 685 S2's for rears and the HTM61 S2 for a Centre

My budget is around £500 and the amps i have narrowed it down to are the following:

Yamaha RX-A830

Onkyo TXNR636

Onkyo TXNR828

Sony STRDN1050

I only want it purely for home cinema can anybody advise which would be the best match for my setup? Romm size is about 16ft x 16ft square

As the sony STRDN1050 won an award and the onkyo's did badly in the reviews, i would suggest you go for the sony.

I would recommend Yamaha RX-A830. It belongs to the superior Aventage range, and sits a class above the Sony (Yamaha RX-V675 is is the same class as Sony DN1050).

Definitely demo your options.
