Receiver with Audyssey

Looking for new low end receiver with room correction. Currently usig Denon 2106 with first gen. auto setup. To be used in my den with lousy room acoustics. Can't correct those so wonder if the audyssey setup is the way to go? Looking at Onkyo/Denon. Will be used for HT only with in wall speaker craft 5.1 speakers. Also interested in the HDMI capability for my hdmi cable box/ps3. Suggestions?

Onkyo/Denon are good brands to start with. What is your budget for this expense?

Going with lower end as I don't need a bunch of power. Mainly would like to try the audyssey setup, would prefer the better software. Have owned Meridian separates in the past in another setup and am not expecting that level. Probably looking around $500 used.

HIGHLY recommend the new Onkyo TS SR705. Truly as good as the reviews. Made my home theater better than the Outlaw/ Sony ES separates I was using.

I've also had Meridian separates. The Denon AVR1708 should fit your needs. I use one of these as well . It has two HDMI inputs and one HDMI monitor output. The Audyssey software works very well! I was surprised at how good this unit sounds. It has more features than I would ever use, being the little brother of Denon's current AVRs.
