Which receiver to buy

[Lizardlips]

Looking to by a HDTV receiver. I find a few on e bay but there is a big difference in prices. Like the Sony runs for about 750.00 and the RCA is only 400.00 why the big diff? What is the best one for me to buy? Thanks GO NINERS

I was referred to the avs forum, which is an excellent forum on everything home theatre related. They have a great HD section where you will find lots of answers if you do some reading. I was gungho for the Sony, ended up getting the Toshiba, which has been fantastic. I have a thread in this section with more info.

I'm a great beliver in matching the receiver to the monitor.

Use Sony with a Sony, Mits w/Mits, ect..

Mixing systems can cause anomalies (ever seen an RCA DCT100 on a Mitsubishi?)

No I haven't seen that but I did see the results of a Poodle and a Yellow Lab, what a bunch of little freaks.:K :eek: :K

I have have the Sony for 3Months and the QUALITY is Outstanding. The one small issue is the length of time to switch from program to program. I am I am not sure if emulation had an effect on that. The Program guide access in a bit complicated. I wouldn't have ANY reservations buying the same unit again.
