sony ta-e9000es are selling in that price range & sounds good.Doesn't decode newer audio codecs. May have some anomilies in sub set-up(?), I felt that even with all speakers set to "large" if you told "set-up" you had a sub it sucked some bass out of remaining channels...
"AV" processor with outh the "V" ?
as the typical 2 channel fanatic, I have many many channels of amplification...most of it idle. I am not nuts about HT, but my Audiogon B&K AVP2030 died (major POP sound every few minutes....) had a really nice 2ch DAC...
I guess I am looking for a SSP (surround sound processor) My plan is simple- send the Optical from my modern TV (which gets all signal via the HDMI) to a the SSP and take 5.1 (or 7.1) to a stack of amps (or maybe one 5Ch and my mains) and a powered sub...
any suggestions? there is lots of great value out there, but it is all older model AVP.... I would like to stay below $500 since HT is low priority. that's a bit of a lie, I love my center channel (compared to the sound from the TV!)
