Suggestions for AV Receiver:

[Attenuator]

I am trying to setup a HT for first time. Need your suggestions/recommendation to buy AVR. I am eyeing these models.
Living room size 13x15 feet... display 55"... Budget for AVR 35K to 40K.

Sony STR-DN1080 Surround Sound Receiver: 7.2



ONKYO TX-NR676 7.2 AV Receiver



Yamaha RX-A2060BL 9.2 Channel AV Receiver



Marantz NR1609 4K UHD 7.2 AV Receiver

The Yamaha aventage is clearly above your budget, otherwise it beats the others. In your budget, marantz NR 1608 is arguably the best. NR 1609 will be much higher priced.

All the above models are available @<40K

All the above models are available @<40K

Then easy. A2060 is superior to the other models listed. Very surprised ur getting 2060 for such a low price

Someone selling an unwanted gift... open box.

If you can extend your budget a little, Denon x1500h is a very good one. Specially for movies. Amazon has a deal where you can get it @47k post discount.
Otherwise, Marantz 1608 has a lot of positive expert and user reviews going for it. A decent receiver in my opinion.

If you are getting the Yamaha 2060 for 40k, then go for it.

Yamaha 2060 sweet deal. Go for it.

 

[dillihifi]

I also recommend the Yamaha around that price. Go for it without second thoughts it is a league higher than the others.

Is it on olx ?
Or Indiamart ?
Many frauds happen on it.
Next to impossible to get it for that price.

 

[rpmahale]

Just clerify and give more details your deal so that FM can help you else you may get cheated. Same things happened with few FM in past . Very rare to get such deals on new products with B&W.

Hmmm..

Someone selling an unwanted gift... open box.

I wish, I knew someone who would gift a Yamaha 2060 and so magnanimous that they would not mind if I sell that as unwanted gift!

Way Too sweet to be true.
Who gifts an AVR ?

 

[pantpank]

Like other FMs, even I would suggest to be careful of fraud. Even if you decide to go for any of the above avrs, make sure you do the transaction face to face and check the functioning of the avr before payment.

By the way Yamaha 2060 will be the best choice if the avrs are genuine.

Thanks guys for the caution... Its just that i happen to know a chap who deals in preowned gear, and will be dealing in person.
I was more concerned about street prices.

 

[mshifi]

Check and test it out in person and decide. Yamaha is a good avr

If Yamaha is out of reach, the next best option in that list will be the Sony 1080. It is my personal pick, over the Marantz too. This receiver manages to deliver 64 watts (@8 ohms) of power with all 7 channels driven. The only thing it misses out is 7 channel pre outputs and limited analog inputs. With efficient speakers, this thing can make em sing.
