So I'm torn between the Yamaha HTR-5930, 5460, HK 35, and just a simple Sherwood 2 channel RX-4105.   Anyone have any experience with any of these models?

Sounds good! Only downside I see is no sub preout :( Hmm there's also the newer Sherwood receiver for 50 used. Which one would be better?

trog, you have been very kind and helpful to me regarding my project, I really appreciate it. I found a onkyo tx-8511 for $60 considering I already like my polks through my dads onkyo I think I might go ahead and pick it up. What do you think? Again thanks for your help.:)

1500+ viewers and not a single reply... I see why people lurk here more than post. But i'll still give it a chance.   Anyone?

Sorry for the quick bump, just wanted to add I saw this arrive on craigslist: http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/ele/2545055802.html   I know Yamaha seems to be great with their guitar and amp niche, what do you guys think of this? I don't know if it's considered a HT-in-a-box system, but...

Hi, I know there have been a few threads about just getting started in the audio world, but I had my own specific issue I can't seem to get over.   Before I start, I should mention I'm simply in my bedroom looking to get a good 2 channel (or 2.1) setup for mostly music (FLAC and 320kbps)...
