I new here and you folks have been a great help so far in my search for a center channel speaker. I'm guessing this is the right forum for this question. In trying to assemble a secondary system in the basement for movies, TV, and two channel music I've put together the following pieces from recent purchases and stuff I've had laying around....

Mains: R20
Sides: R15
Rears: Monitor 6
Sub: Monitor 6 (for now, looking for suggestions)
Center: CS200 (looking for a CSi40 or equivelent)

I'm looking for recommendations on a reciever for this set-up. I currently have a Pioneer VSX-D810S that was displaced from the main system when I went separates.

My main goal for this system is to get the best sound for the least amount of money. As a result I have no problem looking at used or remanufactured stuff. So far I've been looking at stuff like the Marantz SR4300 or various HK models like the 325. I've heard the Marantz stuff can be a little laid back, which could be a problem with Polk gear. Any ideas there?

What I'm most concerned about feature-wise are 7 channel capacity (amplification and inputs-for possible multi-channel music), adequate power, and pre-outs. Don't care about component video as I'm using a 9 year old Toshiba 32" display with only S-video that still rocks. PLII would be nice.

Thanks in advance for any help. And let me say that as an origianl Polk-type (first real system) I'm glad I found this forum! :D
