Recommendations on a A/V receiver...

I just purchased the HK 335, it has really amazing. By the way, where did you get the amazing deal on those Klipsch speakers?

just a tip based from my own experience...yammies and denons will be best choice for HT (denon being a little better though than the yammie)...HK, marantz, pioneer, onkyo will be better for both HT and music listening. marantz may sound a little bright, HK sounds very balanced and tight bass, marantz with a punching bass, pioneer sounding a lot like Hk with more features and finally, onkyo having a very wide dynamic range (also very good for HT). my personal choices would be HK and Marantz among these brands ive mentioned.

Interesting perspective. The nice thing about all the brands you mentioned is you can't go wrong with any of them. Obviously, some models may better suit someone more than others, but I'm confident in recommending any to anyone.
