I recently purchased ri2000 speakers and they are GREAT. My receiver is old, but seems to drive them fine. Should I get a new receiver? I know there are many options out there . . . i want 2 channel, no surround or home theatre.
Would anyone be so kind as to make recommendations. I hear Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon and Marantz are good. High end Rotel, NAD, and McIntosh. So many choices. Help!

what is your 'old' reciever?

Nothing great, Sanyo, probably 10 years old, 100w per channel

i'm guessing it doesn't have pre-outs to hook up to a seperate amp, eh?
there are alot of alternatives, depending on how much $$$ you want to dish out. if you are just into 2-channel, you have alot more money to play with just powering those 2, vs. 5 in HT. if you want to go seperates, i would probably suggest marantz monoblocks. m6100's @ 125/channel @ 8 ohms, bridgable to 360 RMS w/ (2). but then you need a pre/pro as well. nice, cause they are upgradable. you could start with a SR5000 reciever, then upgrade to a pair od monoblocks, and when you can afford it, get another pair and bridge them. it would be an incredible 2-channel set-up IMO anyhow...
so what are you looking to spend, anyway... if you can go McIntosh... why even consider anything else...
