New AV receiver

[Alex]

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?

Have you considered the Yamaha ones from RicherSounds? I've always liked their receivers

I'd go Denon, although the Yamaha ones sound very similar there reliability isn't as good.

Have you thought about NAD?

Agreed. On a £300 budget and for purely watching films, nothing beats a Yamaha receiver. They can be a bugger to find in silver/titanium though.

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.

am with Aaron all the way.....if its for lots of music too.....Marantz....but for film PAZAZZ i'd go Yamaha

No experience with Denon sadly...sorry.
