Please log in for more thread options My Previous setup was: Kenwood KRF-V7773D Receiver Bose Accoustimass 15 (5 duel cube sets + sub) SW-505D Subwoofer The sound was outstanding, loud and clear. My Kenwood receiver started lose sound--one moment it worked just fine, others-no sound at all. So I replaced it with a Yamaha HTR-5850. Whooaa--big mistake! Getting the volumes I was use to was gone and the sound--wow big difference. I lost so much sound detail that I only put about 2 hours of use in to the newer receiver and have since not watched any movies through the system. I thought going with Yamaha, I would improve sound but that will teach me to go low-end ($399) Yamaha when I had a medium to high end ($799) Kenwood. I need some serious recommendations for another receiver to fill a converted 2-car garage movie room with outstanding sound detail. I was think Harmon Kardon but have had no experience with them. I use to think Bose speakers were the shiznitz but I've read many posts about how they're crap. I must be missing even greater sound. Please recommend good speakers, as well. If anyone tries to Google the Kenwood KRF-V7773D receiver, you aren't going to find a whole lot. This was a limited US version (I have) that can be found more in Europe. This makes getting mine repaired almost impossible. Kenwood won't touch it--they want it to go to an authorized service center who've said they can't get parts. http://www.avpark.co.kr/ms20/product_images/289/KEN_03_1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I have a Denon 7.1 receiver that I bought about a year ago. I forget the model number, but it listed for $650 at the time. I'm in a converted one-car garage (but the builder did the conversion when building the house), and it works very well. I'm using NHT sub zero speakers, an NHT super center, and an NHT woofer in a 5.1 configuration, and the sound is very good with this setup. -- Stop Mad Cowboy Disease: Impeach the son of a Bush. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Based on the volume in my room, it should have no problem with a two-car garage size room. The dealer (Showcase--a division of Tweeter) told me that it's the lowest-price Denon with the better video circuitry for passing S-Video or composite video to its component video outputs--lower priced models have different electronics that don't do the job as well, if at all. -- Stop Mad Cowboy Disease: Impeach the son of a Bush. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I just got a denon AVR-686 receiever (7.1) it's great. powers my athena speakers perfectly. (athena point 5 surrounds, B1.2's for fronts and C1.2 center channel) also has an auto calibration microphone thats included so setup is a snap. do a froogle search for it. I found mine for under 300 bucks shipped (refurb). it has 3 component inputs and a component output, 2 digital coax in's for audio as well as 2 fiber optic ins for audio. in the price range it was the only receiver I found with all these features (3 component inputs, 3 or more digital audio in's and auto calibration.) -Nick | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
