Shopping for a Receiver: Educate Me
#12
I really set those limits as I'm not sure what is totally reasonable. I spent considerable money on the speakers so I don't want to do them an injustice buy using an inferior power source but at the same time I don't think going overboard is necessary. Will look into audiogon for sure.

I have owned a Denon receiver of some sort for the past 10-years. I love them.
The sound codec is amongst the best in the industry - as is their resolution upscaling.
You just can't go wrong with a Denon.
Hey, that rhymed!!

I'd look for a higher-end Denon used on Audiogon. It's a great site, and stuff on there is usually well cared for. Don't look around too long, or you'll blow your $1000 on speaker wire and nothing else.
Make sure you get enough HDMI inputs for your needs, and the Audyssey EQ. It really helps address room acoustics. Unless you're starting with a ground-up predesigned listening room, that's a really useful feature.

Here is an old CNET review for my unit.

Looks like they do still sell it - about $1,500.
You could pick one up on Ebay in your price range I bet.
