Home Audio Receiver for surround sound

Our Onkyo receiver recently went the way of the dodo after our daughter left a popsicle on top of it. We have surround sound installed in the den area.
Any recommendations on a good receiver? Or can anyone point me in the right direction to find one? Thank you all much in advance

I’ve purchased several refurbished units from Accessories4Less. You get a good value for your money. Some people are leery of refurbished, but I’ve had good experiences.

Of the typical mass produced models: Yamaha, Marantz/Denon, Onkyo, Sony, Pioneer. Each line has a variety of models at various price points. Sound wise they more or less follow the order listed, but that's an individual preference. Best Buy, Amazon or other internet seller.
If your interested in higher end, check out Music Direct. They will have a selection of mid to upper-end brands

Get a 5.1 Yamaha and call it a day.

I dropped $2k on a 9.2 Yamaha receiver and $1.5k on an Emotiva amp a few years ago and have never regretted them. And those prices are not even considered exorbitant. Audio is definitely a “you get what you pay for” investment.

What specs you looking for? I have a nice Yamaha Aventage RX-A730 sitting in my closet. Upgraded when I moved last year.

Ive had Denon receivers since 2012. Which model you need all depends on how much you want to spend. Im currently using an AVR-1600H. Supports 7.2, Dual zones, blue tooth etc. Does everything I need it to do and runs around $500. I don't have a very elaborate surround sound system so dropping over a grand on a receiver wouldn't make much sense to me.

Purchased an Onkyo receiver. Worked fine for about 18 months then had trouble with the Bluetooth connection. Had a factory rep repair it. Worked fine for about a month then had trouble with the Bluetooth connection again plus the airplay connection. Done with Onkyo, looking into Denon.
