NAD receivers

[kbochat]

So after reading all this stuff and other websites, I started debating about buying something a year or two old with great sound and you usual Component out video.

I guess the one thing that I seem to see a lot is that this HDMI thing just won't settle down. So why buy something uber new and not be able to use it with a newer TV in a year or two.

So am I nuts for thinking that, and just getting receiver and when I am ready get a converter box as the go between when I am ready for the HDTV with HDMI TV???

If I am not crazy anyone have any good 1 or 2 year old recommendations??? I was thinking the Yamaha HTR-5880? or 5980 new if I can find a good deal. I hope I got those numbers right.....

Here is a good site to see what Yamaha has to offer in their HTR line.

Maybe one of the mid-line AVR's and an external amp would be a good choice. This way you get the updated HT bells and still be able to have better 2 channel sound.

You could do the same with Pioneer, Denon or Onkyo.

Have you looked at the HK AVR's also? Good sound there.
More than one person has raved about the Cambridge Audio 540r to me.

Have you mentioned what speakers you have yet?
