Wondering what you guys might suggest for the following setup:

Rti8
Csi5 (or CsiA6)
Rti4
PSW505

It's being used for 70/30 for HT/music, room size 12x20x8. With Rogers HD cable, 42" SonyGW III, XBox 360 and PC. Futureproof would be nice, but not a necessity...as i don't see HDMI being used for at least a few years.

I know budget is the first question you'll have...the cheaper the better i guess, maybe $500ish. I live in Canada, so i might not have all the options you guys in the US have.

Thanks!

CsiA6
Rti4

Yamaha 6050

    I'd go H/K. You can get them cheap, and they are much better than the watts suggest. There is one in the flea market that would be a great starter receiver, and it has PreOuts for hooking up an amp.

    Use the search feature. This topic has been beaten to death lately.
    Happy hunting

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    How about the Yamaha 6090? I know it's much pricier than the others, but i saw it for $599 (out of stock). It's on somewhere for like $750 i think.

    I have same speakers as you except for Sub, and use the Denon 1907 and love it. I used to use a Onkyo for my main HT and I found the Denon made for a nicer sound once I switched.

    Cool you're from Moncton. I am an Acadian as well from Saint John, but been living in the Boston area for a long time now.
