AVR-1804 Fried--New A/V Receiver Recs?

[likeitloud]

The Right receiver to drive those is the pioneer elite vsx 72txv $1000-$1200. 130w x 7
2 HMDI out, 1 in, and tons of features, and the best looking a/v receiver out there.
(its not close). I checked this out thru 4 boston vr m60's and it was soo smooth,
very powerful. It's out of my budget, but that was a great 20 minute test drive. One
step down is the vsx 56tx (no hmdi, pretty sure), also very clean and plenty of power.
Good Luck.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but behind every cloud, even an electrical smoke cloud, is a silver lining. I would love to be able to justify a new receiver,but the two I have (RX-V2095, ARV-3300) are old, but still going strong. I'm sure any one of the higher-end Denons would serve you well, or the Yamahas. I wonder how many others have horror stories about lightening storms. I'm also curious how many thought they were protected by a surge protector or power conditioner, but weren't. Any bad experiences out there about your Monster, Panamax, etc...
