Best A/V receiver < $400 for Cerwin Vega 5.1

rack04 Unregistered guest	Posted on Sunday, August 22, 2004 - 16:30 GMT I am looking for advice on the best receiver for a 5.1 Cerwin Vega including V-12F, V-5C, and V-5M? I have looked at the H/K AVR-130, Onkyo TX-SR502, and Yamaha HTR-5750.

rack04 Unregistered guest	Posted on Monday, August 23, 2004 - 16:03 GMT Is this justifiable to spend the extra money for the H/K AVR-230 over the Onkyo TX-SR502?

It's out of stock at JR as well but has free shipping. eCost has the Denon AVR-684 refurbed on countdown for $210. I wish that was true the week I bought my 502. That's a sweet unit. As best I can tell, there's not a lot of difference between $200 and $350.
