Ok My parents are staying with me as room mates for the next couple of years. Mother is hard of hearing and has tried those wireless headphones...which was a dismal unit. Uncomfortable and the batteries after 24 hours of charging last a pathetic 4 hours.
Anyway I figured she could have my Sony MDR 750s a high endish very comfy set of headphones. But they need an amp. So I figure since the 2 channel rig is in my bedroom and My Wharfedales (The best maybe that Wharfedale ever made) may as well be put to some use and start of a home theater system. Since I have no tuner I figure I get a tuner and headphone jack and hey home theater.
Here's the thing...the SR4300 is the last one left a demo unit with full warranty and is selling for $320.00 Cdn or around $250.00US gve or take a few bucks. I like it because of the preouts.
The 5300 is $398 Cdn but no remote which means I'd have to buy one(~90.00). The 7300 is tempting at $800.00Cdn but too much right now.
Any atrocious anomolies with the 4300...how does it stack up as a surround sound device...don't care too too much about its musical ability.
