As always its a minefield until you have done your research. I have been hankering for a decent AV system for a while and couple this with a possible purchase of a 42" plasma for Christmas it can no longer be ignored. I have started with some KEF Q35's as the front and rears and am just waiting to see if I can get the Q95c centre now. This leaves the amp/receiver.
I reckon I would have about 400 to 600 GBP to spend and so this puts it into a really competitive range and looked at Yamaha's and Denon's. Narrowly missed out on a second hand Yam 1500 on ebay for 381 GBP and so still looking. The amp will mainly be used for TV and Movies and not music really. Be nice to get THX but I think thats a bit more money. Also thinking about the HDMI connection but I think again more money.
So what to get? Oh and one other thing...why are alot of amps 171mm tall? Methinks casings made by same people
