Would a Yamaha rx-v992 be good for....

a set of Wharfedale 9.5 speakers? I can get the receiver cheap from a family member...

I will use it primarily for watching TV and playing music, mostly country and classic rock.

The room they will be used in is sort of large, 15x30 w/ 14ft vaulted ceilings, if this matters.

I do have a 65" DLP 1080p tv.

Would I be better off buying a newer receiver that can do the up converting and hdmi stuff, not likely to get a blue ray any time soon, as I basically just use the TV for watching sports and network TV shows.

I could care less for surround sound and I probably won't even get a sub, bass isn't really my thing anymore.

well i got a good price on an older NAD 7400 and pulled the trigger, comes tomorrow can't wait...
