In that price range, stick with the Onkyo recommendation, or venture into a Nakamichi AV-8. It has DD but no DTS, however, the sound is fantastic.Robert
I agree that under $500 you have to go with Onkyo. Specifically the 575X model. It has the best HT processing chips in this price range and probably as many bells and whistles as anyone. If you want something more musical and built like a tank with pretty good HT processing see if Outlaw has any B stock of their 1050 receiver. They go for $499 with full 2 year warranty. They are just the returns that come back from their 30 day money back guarantee. If HT is your passion the Onkyo is the way to go.
any opinions ?

Hi Rayman,As one newby to another,I like Yamaha. Mine's a 5250(same as 596 I think?). Bought mine at Sears for $325 (list $499).They price matched the web, although I had to go to 2 stores to do it. Good bang for the buck!
Get the RXV-800 (around $800) it has a awesome amount of DIGITAL hookups. The best sounding too, It will last for years. Did I mention I have one?
I'd have to agree with that one. Yamaha makes some great units. I have the Yamaha RX-396 stereo receiver and that thing is great. It took a great beating. My friend also had it and he was the one that recomended it to me. He had JBL D-130s hooked up to that thing. For a receiver that is 50w x 2, it handled well with speakers of that power. I also recomend Mitsubishi AC-3 receivers. They are sweet and have a ton of A/V options. I recently purchased the MRV-800 model, and it is quite inpressive. Good luck.
