Help choosing receiver

Hi,

I have a small budget of 450 to buy a used receiver and I would greatly appreciate your suggestions. I would only use it for HT as I have a separate 2 channel system.

I've been looking at Denon, Yamaha, Marantz and Sony (the brand new STR-DA1000ES)

Thanks !!

For Home Theater the Yamaha's will be the best choices.

I think I-m going to go Denon, maybe a I can find a good deal on the 2803 or 3803.

The issue with the Panasonic SA-XR45 is that it doesn't have pre outs and other stuff...

Please keep sending your opinions....I don't want to screw up.

Thanks,

I've been further narrowing my search to the Denon 3803, any comments ?
I plan to use it also as a PreAmp, because I already have a power amp.

Thanks,

Another vote for the Panasonic SA-XR45 (or 25). I have one hooked up to very modest inwall speakers, but I first tried it out with some Dynaudio speakers, and the sonics were excellent. Plenty of power, and packed with features. I don't know how they do it.
