RE: HT Receiver going into only 2 channels

Agree with David on his recommendations.

Although 2CH is the only focus at this time, it would be wise for your friend to go for a 5 channel receiver. My suggestion would be to look for a used Denon 3805 or similar and can be purchased used for around the $400 mark. A Google search will reveal sources. I purchased one of these some time ago for a third system and can recommend the sound and flexibility.

With this it is relatively simple to add a sub and/or a couple of rear speakers for effective ambiance.

I did not have a good experience with a NAD receiver but have had A1 reliability etc with their integrated amps & receivers. The NAD receiver I had just died and was not worth repairing - I had someone try to do this but was unsuccessful as they are a nightmare to work on.

Denon and Onkyo seem to have the best reputations.
