Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations on a good A/V Receiver for a home theater.
I'm a novice in this area. If there are any good websites that do reviews
and comparisons of A/V receivers this would be very helpful also. I'm open
to all recommendations on learning more about home theater and specifically
the sound (receivers, speakers, wiring, setup, etc).

Thanks a lot for your help.

TH

After some research I ordered a Yahama rx-v750:

It sets up the volumes using a mic and isn't too expensive. I'll let you
know how it sounds when I hear it.

You might consider subscribing to Sound and Vision. I'm sure some of the
reviews could be biased by advertising, but you can learn a lot from reading
it. I find it makes great bathroom reading (not meant as an insult).

Good luck.

Look for a good Denon 5.1 receiver. They seem to have the best ease of
use and are reasonablly priced. I deal with them for my small custom
home theater jobs. I hope this helps.

Larry, I'm in the market for a receiver, and did tons of research, and I
came up with the same Yamaha receiver. So how does it sound? I'm hoping to
use some Yamaha NS555 or NS333 speakers with it, but since the RX-V750 is
what I'm hoping to pick up, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this unit.

So far I'm very happy, but it's new and not so much time to use it. No
regrets and the home theater sounds great. The reviews are positive.
I think you'll be very happy. I need to try the microphone (set up).
I have 7.1 theater with atlantic technology speakers.
