So I bought a Yamaha RX-V461 last week to replace my AIWA POS.

I chose the Yamaha for its price ($300) plus I had $75 in best buy gift cards and a 12% discount certificate.


The downfall is that the receiver didn't have any HDMI inputs, but my cable box doesn't have HDMI output, and I didn't feel like spending twice as much to get full HDMI switching, since I don't use it. Overall, I am pretty happy and like listening to the Comcast music channels in digital audio. Next stop, is to get that subwoofer!
