| | Re: Real Surround Sound for the Future There are standards set in the industry for example DTS has a specific standard and is decoded the same way no matter what receiver or processor you buy. The biggest difference is the D/A converters, BurrBrown makes several different levels of quality but there top of the line is rated as one of the best. THX certified receivers also are in a class of there own but does not always mean your getting the very best either.
Build quality is another factor and thats where the price comes into play. The Onkyo TX SR875 is said to be the best receiver available in the sub $1200 range as the build quality is amazing for the price and offers so much for the money in one package. The Yamaha RX z11 is in a totally different class but offers no better sound processing that some of the less expensive receivers do but has allot more power (personally its over priced and overkill)
Depending on how much you want to spend separates can be a better option, The Integra 9.8 is said to be one of the best but there are many others that fit the bill. Sunfire, Outlaw, Anthem and many others have some great options. Home theater: Onkyo TXSR805 receiver, Samson Servo 4120 bridged @240wattsX2, 2-Mission 765 Mains, 4-762i's Surrounds, SVS PB13 Ultra, AR center PSC25,
2 Audio control C131 EQ's, Toshiba HD XA2, Samsung BDP1400 BluRay, Pioneer LD, Sanyo Z2 projector
Two Channel system: Yamaha RX-V995, Mission 764i's & A/D/S MS3u sub, Yamaha KX-393 Tape deck, CDC 805 5 disc CD changer,
