New AV receiver
What do you guys reckon is the best AV receiver this side of £300? My shortlist is basically the Marantz SR400/SR5400, the Denon 1804 (prob the one Ill get) and the cambridge audio (cant remember model number,, £250 from richer sounds... any other ideas?

I'd go Denon, although the Yamaha ones sound very similar there reliability isn't as good.
Have you thought about NAD? G4 PowerMac - Tiger 10.4 - 512MB RAM MacBook - 2Ghz - 1GB RAM - 120GB HDD Rotel RC970BX | DBX DriveRack |2x Rotel RB850 B&W DM640i | Velodyne 1512 |

If you're going to be listening to a lot of music through it, I would suggest Marantz instead. Their receivers seem to be streets ahead of the competition for music listening purposes. |
