Pioneer VS43X vs. Yamaha RX2300 vs. Onkyo TNSR800


Okay, in a life dilemma on these receivers. NHT speakers (1.5 fronts, audiocenter, subtwoi, superones rear).

Assuming only 5.1 to start, which of these would you recommend. Big room 3000 cubic foot.

Pioneer ELT VS43X
Yamaha RX 2300 (or 1300...can't seem to tell the difference)
Onkyo TNSR800
or Sony STR DA4ES.

-- 50/50 music/home theatre usage.

Actually, Yamaha has a pretty good rep when it comes to surround sound units. And many have accommodations for 4 ohms drive capacity with the switching on the back. To say all yamaha units are "Junk" is pretty harsh and ill-informed, take a look in any number of audio mags.
