Hello,
I will be in the market for a standalone surround sound receiver in the near future. I'm looking for suggestions.
- $250 or under
- Receiver only...I already have speakers and media playback devices
- 5.1 capable (won't need 7.1 as I won't have that many speakers)
- Brand is irrelevant (though I do have Sony speakers and I like the idea of having matching components across the board)
- Useage: 70% streaming music videos/music from my MBA through Apple TV, 25% movies, 5% TV.
Here are a few that I am considering...

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-STR-DH74...93982&sr=8-3&keywords=surround+sound+receiver
Thoughts on any of these? Better options I may not have considered yet?
