Anonymous | I am looking at getting a Home Theater Receiver. I have a DVD player but I am in the market for a receiver. The two receivers I am looking at are the Pioneer VSX-D412 and the Kenwood VR-705-S. The two are about equal in specs and price at Best Buy. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice which would be the better buy. Thanks |

Anonymous | I just purchaesde the Pioner VSX-D412 @ Circuit City For $149.00 Jan. 04, 2004 and i love it. Sound is great, set-up a breeze. Have it hooked up with a DVD-VCR combo, and 31"RCA TV with A/V. Along with 5-speaker system. Used Monster speaker cable and also purchased the Pioneer 3 speaker set for $71.00 so far it all sounds great. |

j Unregistered guest | neither try the Onkyo HT-S760 for $499 or the Yamaha HTIB for the same price. |

For Example, the THX Certified Kenwood VR-6070 available from ecost.com for 195$. I would recomond this for your setup. Much Much better than either the 412 or 705-s. I have used this receiver myself and that is why I recomend it to a person seeking a low budget HT System.
