Just finishing up a renovation and need a receiver for my home theater/music (will use about 70% for music). Want to stay under $500 and have looked at Denon 885, Yamaha 1500, Marantz 8400 (ebay has these all within price range except Marantz is a little more). Would be very interested in opinions on best choice amoung the three AND also if you have any others that you think I should consider.

Thought very much appreciated!

I haven't heard the Marantz, but have heard good things about it.

As long as you're looking at ebay, this may be something to consider:

Its a couple model years old now but, provided its it good shape, should sound spactacular. I believe at least a couple regular posters here either have this receiver or did at one time.

Brian,
Based on your price range, the Marantz looks like a pretty good deal if you dont mind buying on ebay.

Otherwise, I'd recommend the Yammi1500.

Good recommendations above. The 8400 would be a great deal if you could get one that fit your budget. I would also look at Harman Kardon. (That's from a current Denon 3805 owner who used to own H/K)

The 8400 would be great if your budget agrees, also look at Harman Audio on eBay, you can get some great deals with full original HK warranty like this:

Try to hear this one - you will like the warm smooth sound - like an upscale piece. Now we all can have a luxurius sounding surround sound.
