Need help choosing a receiver!

[audiowarrior 4]

Hi guys,

I am ordering this:
- R-51M 5.1 Home Theater System
- Includes (1 Pair) R-51M, (1) R-52C, (1 Pair) R-41M, (1) R-100SW

What I enjoy doing:
- Watching movies via Plex, TV, and streaming
- Watching TV shows on Netflix and HBO
- No gaming
- Not likely to upgrade to 7.1

Budget:
$300 - $400

1. What kind of receiver can I get for this 5.1 system?

2. What kind of speaker wiring should I get for this? I don't understand 16 and 18 gauge wiring.

3. Random question, my room has a lot of wooden paneling on the walls. You think I'm going to get ear fatigue with these speakers? 16 x 13 room. Will mainly play volume on medium.

Thank you so much!

I'd use 16 gauge wire--18 is too small

Look at these refurbished receivers--I bought a Denon, works fine and saved me money.

Within your budget.

Hello,

 

Are you near any Fry’s?  I got a Denon x2500 for about 400 (intermittently on sale with promo code).

Thanks guys! I hear good things about Denon.

 

My only concern is their support, I saw a few reviews that said Denon’s support is nonexistent and horrible. Not sure if you guys experienced this? Hopefully I won’t need them.

I vote for Integra easier to set up and to customize also this one has phono input. My son has Denon and his has less options on set up he does not like it.l

Then if your mounting surrounds on wall get these if they are not to heavy https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BV0FHG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
