DENON, ONYKO, MARANTZ


Ok I have $700.00 to spend on AV receiver.  What say you is the best route?  I want to rock out but also want to watch movies.  I only have 2 tower speakers and a center speaker.  Must have HDMI.. Please give advice on used in my price range on any other brand names.

What speakers do you have?  What sound characteristics are most important to you?  What features do you need?

700 bucks I would go Sherwood (excellent amplifiers). A Dayton Audio powered sub, and DA 652 for rear channels. 4 RoomTune CornerTunes.


and you'll have change left over

I apologize in advance if I insult anyone here, I am new to the Audio world and I don't have a massive budget.  I have the Fluance tower speakers and the Fluance mid,  they are pretty nice and work well for my budget so don't judge!  One day I will up grade I promise so be nice.

I love the blues and good old fashioned rock and roll and anything Acoustic.

i agree that anthem is better than the mass market brands, but it may be more avr than you need for your speakers--i'd go to accessories4less and pick out a yamaha or marantz--they have great prices (40/50% off) and you can get a lot of machine for $300-400. onkyo seems to be disfavored these days because of reliability.
