Looking for something cheap 200-300 at most. HDMI switching is a must. Anyone have anything that recommend? Just looking to consolidate speaker sources and hook up a cheap surround sound unit.

I am not an audiophile and I cannot tell the difference between good and bad sound.

edit: something like this?

Craigslist is your best bet. Pick up some audio nerds barely used receiver that he just had to get rid of because the new model is .1% better.

There is some site I forgot where people sell just used audio stuff but it’s more for high end stuff.

Probably excessive for your needs but Onkyo is great quality and that is worth a lot more. This receiver is a brick shithouse.

I like Onkyo…I bought a refurbished Onkyo Home Theater system though. HT-S7100. My receiver does not auto switch the sources. Kind of a PITA. To remedy this i bought one of these:

And an FYI…Bill Me Later (paypal) is running a deal, up to $100 off your statment when paying with paypal , subject to approval.

Onkyo is fine for those who want quality but dont have audiophile ears.
