So, my receiver's HDMI out was blown 2 nights ago from a huge storm we had in the area. Not sure how it happened, since it was attached to a good surge supressor, but the facts speak for themselves. I was using a Onkyo HT-RC160 that I was very happy with. It was reasonably priced and had all the features I needed. I'm not a huge audiophile, so the sound quality was fine. My question is, since no one seems to carry these anymore, what should I replace it with? I can't go over $500, or rather, I don't want to go over $500. I looked at a couple Onkyo receivers on Newegg and Amazon that looked reasonable. TX-NR309, 509, 609 and 709. I also looked at a couple Yamaha receivers, RX-A700 and RX-A800. All I really need is a decent receiver that puts out reasonable sound, has a good tuner and a minimum of 3 HDMI in and 1 HDMI out. So what do you all recommend? I'd like something comparable to the receiver I had, as I really liked it and it did everything I needed. Thanks in advance.
