Hello, I'm new here and been meaning to get myself a decent AVR for myself. I'm starting from scratch and know little of the tech talk and jargon yet. I don't really know what an avr can do, if it can send signals to my TV better than a standard player.?. I just would like your advices please on what unit I should consider.
1. music is the first priority. 70 to 80% for it. I don't really need something very loud since I have a smallish room. I love Jazz so clarity is something I hopefully get. I was told that Denon shines on this field.
2. I wish that the avr though would be at least 5.1 capable and not limited to stereo.
3. I don't need something new nor a new model, but I wish it to be.
4. I prefer that it is up to date on things that I can use such as HDMI or DTS capable.
5. most of the things I would play would come from a computer, ipod or maybe a built in radio.
6. I still don't have any speakers but was advised to look for celestion or maybe B&W.
7. I will be building this one item at a time when budget allows.
8. entry level would be ok, but since I don't intend to be changing it for a while a mid level one would be preferred. future proof would be great, but if I wouldn't use the feature, then it is just extra expense on me that I can probably live without.
9. budget is requested at 15k but I can save up to buy a good one if I need to.
thank you.
