My budget for the receivIer is about $500.00. That's why I have choosen the

CA Topaz SR10, and the Marantz SR4023. They fit into my price range.

Thanks for the reply.

You can get the Harmon-Kardon AV 3490 receiver for well under $500, and it is much better in terms of both features and sound quality, as far as I am concerned.

It has a built-in phono preamp and subwoofer outputs, just to name two, and its amplifers are rated at 120 watts.

Check out the details at Amazon or Harmon-Kardon.

which is a stereo receiver rather than the Harman Kardon AVR series which are home theater receivers and under performing for two channel music.

Even their lowest cost receivers are built by a company that knows good sound and try to put some into their lowest price point merch.
