Hi

I'm just starting to look for a receiver for my home setup and I was wondering what would you recommend for under ?200. Should I go for a new receiver like the Denon 1603, or should I wait for an older second hand one to become available.

Many thanks in advance

Nathan

See my thread titled "help looking for an ampo for my sister" or similar Yamaha are goo as are marantz petertyson have some very good prices as do some other retailers

The Denon 1803 should be available for not much more than ?200, and is a stormer at the price.

I have been thjinking of extending the budget a little and perhaps going for the Onkyo tx-sr501e. This has switchable component inputs. Is this Receiver any good?

Many Thanks

not up to speed on onkyo but if you want/can utilise YUV switching yamaha have put this on their mid level units definatley worth a good look and a demo mate
