Best A/V Receiver Under 700

Natharu:

For a VERY good A/V Receiver that is priced under $700.00, you could try the Outlaw for a list price of $599.00. But from what I have been reading (in my video magazines, here, and elsewhere on the "net") the price of the Outlaw Receiver has been cut to $499.00, and right now, that makes it a great deal. It's worth a shot. Also, you could look at the Harman/Kardon AVR-310 and AVR-510 Receivers at $500.00 and $600.00 (and these are NOT their list prices) respectively and see what you think about those. I have the AVR-210 which lists for about $600.00, but I got mine for about $400.00, and it's not a bad receiver in it's own right. But I would think that for $500.00 and $600.00, the AVR-310 and AVR-510 should be better models still. They're worth a look nonetheless.

Good Luck.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I went with the Outlaw 1050

I have been pleased with Onkyo receivers. The bass response is a little thin but overall I like their sound quality. TXDS696 at $699 was an excellent choice for my modest theater system I know several other owner that have not been displeased either. Another option is the TXDS595 at $499, however the performance is a little bit of a down grade from the TXDS696. I believe the HK prices are $599 for the AVR310 and $799 for the AVR510. Sound quality of the Harman Kardon is a little bit smoother in my opinion.

outlaw anyday...it's 499 sounds like 1499
or a denon 4802....but wait....not under $700
...OUTLAW's your answer
or just wait

I used to have a Nakamichi AV-8. he 10 is a a model up. No DTS on mine anyway, but I thought it was a great bargain. It replaced Denon and kicked it's butt. see them cheap on AG and at my dealeer at times.
