I'm looking for some recomendations for a 7.1 reciever, I have a 5.0
infinity sound system (no sub) not sure whihc model they are, they are all
the same size speaker (about 4 inches wide, 8 inches tall and mabye about 4
inches deep) I still need ot buy a powered subwoofer, and already have 2 in
cieling speakers installed (will probably switch these out later on) I'm
looking for a decent 7.1 reciever that has component video switching, and a
few fiber optic audio inputs (for ps2 and Xbox) I don't believe I need a ton
of power for these, just looking for somethign decent under 300 bucks if
possible, can I get some ideas from anyone? I watch a lot of movies and also
play video games and watch regular TV, so it's sort of an all around theater
I'm going for. thanks!

Whoops, just made a post recommending the Outlaw, should have read further
as it's not within your budget. Sorry.

haha, no problem, I appreciate the effort. any idea what is decent in my
budget? I'm not looking for anything crazy, and it could be a year old or so
or could be a refurb, as long as it's 7.1, has component switching and easy
to use woudl be nice (but not 100% as I'm pretty handy with electronics)
also auto calibration would eb nice, although I know I'm pushing it in this
budget. any ideas on some models, or brands? or at least some good sites
that review A/V recievers? thanks!

Hi,
Is there a particular reason it has to be 7.1 receiver?
eBay has many choices.
