Need some advice on a new AVR. My Denon AVR-X4000 bit the dust last week and I need a replacement. Don’t want to buy Denon again, don’t need 4K support, and don’t mind buying used/refurbished.

I only need 5.1 or 5.2 and AVR will only drive center and rears (emotiva amp for fronts, powered SVS sub)

Don’t need an integrated phono preamp but I wouldn’t mind it, either.

Prefer at least one optical video input

Banana plug speaker terminations

The kicker....I only want to spend $300-400. It’s been a while since I’ve shopped so not sure which brands are now considered garbage due to manufacturing/ownership changes. Not that I’m getting anything top of the line for what I’m spending but that expensive arse Denon left a bad taste in my mouth so want something dependable.

Suggestions would be appreciated
