I have 2 x B&W DM620i loudspeakers (8 Ohm, 25-100 Watt continu), which I
paln to use as frontspeakers. Also I have 2 x Magnat project 4.1
loudspeakers type 2 (4-8 Ohm, 140-250 Watt), which I intend to use as
rearspeakers.

also I have 2 x Sony S-SE 455 V loudspeakers (8 Ohm, 200
W) with centerspeaker Sony SSC-CN55 (8 Ohm, 200 Watt).

I am considering to nuy one of the following 3 DTS audio-video receivers:

Harman Kardon AVR155 now 358 euro, AVR347 now 329 euro en de AVR355
now 530 euro.

I am going to use this receiver in combination with the WD TV HD Media
Player, see http://www.wdc.com/en/library/wdtv/NLD/UserManual.pdf.

I use it for bluray movies.
I also will use it as an audioreciever foor playing CD's, etc.

Which AV receiver sholud I choose and why?
Should I also consider to look at Denon, because I now have all HIFI
stuff from Denon, being 15 years old but still good.

Best regard,

Eric


I like Denon kit but I'm against spending too much on AV hardware - things change too quickly. I've just got a Sony STR-DG820 for a very reasonable £249 and I'm pleased with it:

It's got all the connectivity and processing capabilities I'm likely to need - the only problem is, despite a new model due out soon (if not already), they are quite 'sought after' and are going for even more money on eBay secondhand! This one ended only yesterday (ignore the description - it's faulty):

(There is another with 4 days to go on Auction No. 270388643234 but it's a whacky £300 BIN + 20 P&P!)
