Hello all. I'm upgrading my home theater with a Samsung LN52A650 (52" Plasma) and a PS3 for Blu ray. I have all the speakers under control but my question is what receiver to buy. I'm looking to spend around $400 and would like to have at least 2 HDMI inputs. I want the HDMI to pass audio through to the TV in case I just want audio through the TV. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Onkyo 605 or 606

I 2nd this I would go with the 606. You can find it for that or lower on-line. I'm not an Onkyo fan but for the price it's worth the shot.

Not a big Onkyo fan either but it will suit your needs well.

And you dont have a Samsung plasma, you have an LCD.

Sorry, I meant the PN50A650... Thanks for the responses, I'll check thoe Onkyo out.

I'm getting ready to upgrade also.

Looking at this Yamaha RX-V661BL 7.1

Better price and I've had Yamahas since the Pro-Logic days. Great Products from Yamaha.

What speakers do you have?

For a little more than $400, 476 on Amazon, you can pick up a Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K receiver.
