My much loved Technics receiver from 1996 finally died. Dammit. That was a great little amp.
So since it's been 11 years since I've shopped for an amp, I have no clue what's good. I ONLY need the amp - my speakers still work fine and they're very good - so I'm not looking for a full home theater deal - just receiver. It doesn't even have to have a tuner built in, since I have one of those too.
So I'm lookin' for something with decent surround capabilities. 500 watts or so. Good sound quality, but nothing too expensive 'cause I'm poor
I know Technics isn't even available anymore, and from what I hear the Panasonic brand has dropped quite a bit in quality anyway. What brands should I be looking at?
