I am looking at putting together a surround sound stereo system for under 1000 and am looking at these two receivers to get started. Can anyone give me some help, and with the money left over what would be some good speakers...I've heard the Polk RM6880 with the Denon which sounded okay. The room will be average to small sized.
Justin, do you want a 5.1, SACD, H/T or dedicated stereo system? For a grand all around, that really matters. A kickass stereo can be had for a really good price, and take what you get for movies.
I am looking at a 5.1 or 6.1 Home theater. A change from my first question above, How about the pioneer VSX-1016 vs the Denon AVR-787. Is having HDMI really that important on your receiver? I am looking at hooking up a 6.1 system with one of these receivers. I will also use my PS3 as my DVD player for now since it has Blu-Ray and has video upscaling as well.
Justin, having HDMI is of zero importance to me. A and V should be kept seperate all of the time. Your PS3 will function corectly, as will your DVD. The blu-ray is sales crap. Seperate A and V will always work.
