Panasonic receiver
CCM:
I'm looking to upgrade my surround system and came across this deal:

What are your opinions of this reciever for only $150? Also, I have some sony points burning a hole in my pocket, so are there any sony speaker systems that would work well with the panasonic receiver?

I generally felt a good vibe while very briefly browsing through. One plus not mentioned in the specs at Amazon; the unit decodes Pro Logic II. This is beneficial if you intend on picking up a Nintendo Wii (or have a gamecube) as that console does not support DD 5.1.

Thanks for the link... I went ahead and ordered the receiver, just in time, it's now back up to 199.99. Now I just need to find a good set of speakers.

I have it and it is hands down the BEST value in home theater receivers right now. All digital amp sections, runs cool, decodes DPLIIx, 7.1, etc.
I replaced a Denon AVR-5803 ($4000!!!) with this little guy and my theater has never sounded better.
:cheers:

Can you suggest a decent set of speakers and a sub for this receiver? How do these sound?

I realize that sony doesn't make the best speakers in the world, but I want to use my sony points...
