looking for a new receiver

[shadowslayer666 1]

My dad is replacing his 15 year old receiver, but we have no idea at what brands to look at, or really all the features we need. We need about 100 watts for the front 2 channels at 8ohms and 75 watts for the rear channels at 8 ohms.

His set up is old, so no center channel yet or dedicated sub, but we have two large towers each with a tweet, a mid, and a woofer with internal crossovers.

We will be upgrading to a true 5.1 system, but as of now we are keeping the old speakers, probably for another year. Inputs will be from our PS3 and out digital cable box.

Im not sure if you need anymore info, if so please let me know.

Budget is around 250-300

Marantz is a great one. I have one in my home theatre setup with my ps3.

In the computer room I have a denon. It's pretty good as well.
