I havent bought a reciever in 13 years, but back then Harman/Kardon AVR series was a safe bet, good sound quality, lots of connectors and very good build quality. I gave my AVR 5550 along with Psb Stratus Silver to my dad years ago and it still rocks as if new.

I whould guess things have changed since then, but H/K is still around in the game last I checked. Have no idea about the quality nowadays tho.

And they don't look remotely as badass as before, thats for sure.

Honestly you could probably pick up any new mid range Yamaha or Onkyo A/V receiver and you'd be golden.

Pretty much standard these days for them to have hdmi/rca/optical inputs along with 7.1 output capability

What kind of price range is 'mid-range' for a receiver?

>>58146522
My personal definition for mid-range is about $500, although i've seen fairly loaded receivers for around $350ish. It really depends on what brand you go with.

Generally base model a/v receivers usually exclude inputs like toslink/coax but that's just my experience.

hmm, id have to be careful then. I want to make sure I get one with a toslink input.

>my grandma still has a jvc receiver from the early 80s

shit basses hard as fuck though.
