which receiver: Any suggestions?

Yahama uses Better High current Transisters and (Burr Brown) Decoders. Many also complain about excess Heat with some Onkyo Receivers, That would concern me about long term Durability.

In my opinion the rs700 is the best receiver I've ever owned. It's worth the xtra few dollars for its power,sound quality, and flexibility. The only thing I might change would be the phono stage but that can be ungraded using one of the line inputs.

I would suggest a receiver that is close to a 1000 wt range. These speakers are great in a 5.1 or 7.1 system. Pioneer receivers are more expensivebut they are better in my opinion.

One other thing Rick, the receivers usually come as a car kit , find the receiver that u r interested in, scroll down and look for the used ones. Check for new and used. The used ones can be very reasonably priced. Yes u take a chance but I've been very lucky.

I know with this one, this one has spotty reception, but I think that the one you may be looking for is this one: Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM Satellite Radio with MP3 Capability. It looks the same, but I heard it gets better reception (I have the previous model), but if you are definitely looking into getting a Satellite radio, I think your best bet is to get the one that I mentioned. Just my personal opinion, also I've read a lot of good things about the other receiver.

Boy there is a lot going on in that receiver isn't there. I'lld like to see that work. Maybe I'll find it on youtube somewhere. But you can check with Weaver and see what they have.

Onkyo has a couple lines that are really nice for fairly cheap (comparatively, of course). You have the TX-NR5XX series which are really good intro receivers. The TX-NR8XX series will get you closer to your $1k limit but worth the price. Pretty much anything Denon will get you at a good spot. You can even find some decent Harmon Kardon pieces for under $1k if you shop around. Personally I am not a fan of Yamaha or Pioneer but that is a personal preference as I know several who have had great success with those manufacturers too but YMMV. Hope you find something that fits your needs!

If using a pair of these speakers, I would suggest the Cerwin Vega CV-900 900watt amplifier. Receiver choice is up to your personal preference.

I am looking to buy this receiver and wanted to know the same thing. Did you ever get an answer?

I really like it, but if that is all you want to use it for I would say no. You can buy other receivers for way less money.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the unit and have owned it for about a week now. Appears to be a very good receiver.

I agree with Mark, Sherwood makes a number of good inexpensive receivers... Check out Parts Express...

Good morning , I returned my receiver , the best way is to find a software to update for sat selection !! Or just go to sat forum . Good luck

You would need a receiver. I would recommend either Yamaha or Denon budget around $300 - $500

RTK. I have some of these units. They work really well. I only use the transmitter portion, so I have a couple of receivers laying around. If you would them, just let me know.

I got a receiver also. This appears to be a common problem. Amazon - where are you?
