DTS-HD: Receiver?

Ravenas · Apr 15, 2008, 05:49 AM

Could someone recommend me a Sony (will also consider other brands) 7.1 reciever with good DTS-HD sound. I'm looking for nice 24.5 bit Blu-Ray sound. Anyhow any recommendations??

I have the Onkyo TX-SR605, it is the best bang for the buck receiver which is highly future proof.

You can get it from amazon for a good price...

As far as a true DTS-HD sound experience goes, how would you rank those receivers on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest)?

Your ears need to be a the judge of that really.. I have a DTS one here it's good for what i use it for which is gaming and films.

EDIT: One thing that i like on mine if that you can set the base frequency for your speakers too.
