I have been happily using the Marantz NR1501 since lightning took out my SR7000 several years ago. This is an older version of the NR1605.
I've narrowed it down but...
I've narrowed my choice for my first AVR to these, and I can still buy them new within my price range.

They all have wi-fi and a reputation for good sound.
My front three speakers are 87db 6ohm speakers, and I may not use rears because of space in our townhome. I'm interested in having a center channel to hear dialogue more clearly, instead of an integrated amp because of my age. They all have more than enough features for me, including room correction, and sound quality is very important.

I am personally a Marantz fan. Be sure to check www.accessories4less.com for great deals. I have purchased 2 receivers and a blu-ray player from them with perfect results. |
