Onkyo or Denon for my buddy ?

71.169.174.174

A long time friend just emailed me asking for a recommendation between the Onkyo TX-SR309 and the Denon AVR-1312. He wants the best of both worlds meaning good HT and two channel performance, hence his question to me. I have to be honest, I dont know much about HT receivers. I noticed the Denon does not have USB inputs and that to me is very important looking forward. Anyone familiar with the sound of these two brands ? I noticed based on a quick query that these are also the companies lower tier components. Feel free to recommend any brand you think outperforms these two. From what I see his budget is around $300. Thanks.

I miss the glory days of the TX-4500 MKII. What a great receiver.

  That's a mint looking receiver.

    Well, he called me again to tell me he got an Onkyo TX-SR509. He also got a good deal from Crutchfield. Thanks for your response.
