I am currently trying to decide which home theatre receivers I should consider to run a five speaker system and eventually a seven speaker system. Speakers are B&W 600 S3 series. My budget for the receiver is 500 to 700. I have been leaning towards Onkyo(looks and features), but I would like to know what else is available in this price range. Thank You
Recommendation for a Home Theatre Receiver?

What features are of most interest to you?
My personal favorite in that range is the Harmon Kardon AVR635. Can be bought at Circuit city for $699 on closeout.- Bottom

The new Outlaw receiver is supposed to be awesome. Some reviews say it is the best receiver under $1500.

I use to have a 5.1 setup of B&W 600 S3 speakers powered by a Marantz SR-6400 A/V receiver. It was gorgious for movies. Marantz are very nice for music as well.B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720- Bottom

I hear nothing but good things about HK. I have had an Onkyo receiver for about 4 years that has been a work horse for me. Outlaw has a good rep as well. In this price range it is probably more about features. I also continue to hear excellent reviews on the panasonic digital receivers and they are only about $200-300 to boot.- Bottom

If you search the web you can get a great deal on the Boston Acoustics AVR7100 MSRP 2,199 you can purchase it online for $747 shipped. I bought one for my living area it sounds great.....not to mention the thing is a beast 60 pounds. I am very happy with the reciever. I believe it uses the Sherwood Newcastle R-865 electronics with a different case. I have a B&K 507 II and A Sony DA777ES, in my opinion the Boston is right up there with the B&K.- Bottom
