Trying to find a solid HT Receiver. Looking around the $200 price range.

7.1 would be great, but if not, that wouldn't be the end of the world either.

Any idea's welcome. It's for my boss, so preferably something that is dependable and of fairly good quality.

Thanks!

    The latest home theater technology that utilizes 5 discrete, full-range channels plus a separate subwoofer channel. A Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder (like Yamaha's DDP-1) or Dolby Digital DVD player can be added to the RX-V2090 to upgrade it to Dolby Digital reproduction.

    Ya I tried to do some research on this and didn't really come up with anything.

    Any experienced member know about this receiver and if this is a decent HT AVR? I have never been a fan of Yamaha, but I admittedly don't know that much about them.

    I've bought from them before,very good service.

    Going to update a small rig in our family room using a Marantz AVR with HDMI

    At least their refurb. items have a year warranty...their new AVR prices are pretty good also.

    the yamaha 2090 was the flagship of their line when it was built in 1998, and was first to market with dolby digital capability... internals are far superior to anything else you could get at this price... I ran it as my main reciever for ten years and only caved to upgrading when the need for hdmi came up

    That's a tight price range.

    I'd think Pioneer 518, I believe that is a 5.1 system. But with a cheaper receiver you'd want to save power by not going 7.1.

    Just a thought.

    Ya, it was. He wants to start smaller.

    Thanks for the input!
