Here is my ride. 1970 Mustang Convertible w/5.0 EFI Motor. 3 years in the making.

Putting together my first HT system and need some input on a receiver. Speakers are RF-15, RC-25, RS-25, and RW-12. System use will be 75% HT 25% Music. Have narrowed down receiver to HK AVR-435 or Denon 2805. Question 1: Which would you buy and why? Question 2: I can buy a reconditioned HK AVR-430 from HK for approx $250 less than the HK AVR-435. Am I giving anything up buying the 430 besides the ezset/eq? Thanks Dan

I'm thinking of that or rb35 ---------------- Have not purchased yet but it appears that can order from goodguys.com for $1350. Local dealer is at $1600 without negotiation. Would prefer to deal local but I do not haggle till ready to buy. Dan

I've spent most of the day listening to home theater systems and based on my ear and input from this forum, have decided on RB25, RC25, RS25, and RW-10 to be used in a 16 x 16 room (first stab at home theater). Now I am looking for suggestions for a receiver. Would like to spend approx. $500. What do you suggest?

Considering my first home theater system and have a question. Based on pricing from goodguys.com, the RB-25 System would be $1340 and the Cinema 10 would be $1320. I have not been able to audition the systems together but was able to listen to the RB-25 and was pleased. I have read many of the posts and would value your input as to which system you would purchase. Thanks Dan
