My Pioneer VSX 1122 seems to have kicked the bucket after a few short months of living in my house. I got home from work today and noticed the clock flashing on the stove and when I went to turn on the TV no video. It appears that the video passthru component on my AVR went kaput w/ the power outage. I bought it at Best Buy w/ the protection plan so I'm good to get a replacement, but is has to be available at Best Buy. With their new "we price match everything" strategy I'm not too worried about the price being too much of a factor as I can wait for it to go on sale online. That being said,what mid range AVR does everyone reccomend? I was looking at the specs of Denon 2113CI and liked what I saw. I'm not really picky about brand, but want to stay away from Sony, never been a huge fan.

Cliff Notes:
Need AVR with 7.1 and multi zone DD Tru HD and DTS Master + airplay. Thanks!

Best Buy doesn't price match everything; they only price match about a half-dozen select large e-tailers.

Every time I've asked for a price match on a non "list" etailer its been flatly rejected.

That said, you can probably get Best Buy to price match the $550 newegg price on the Pioneer SC-1222-K, which is basically just a rebadged Pioneer Elite SC-61.

thanks! this is the type of deal I was looking for. I actually had BB price match the 1122 against newegg and it was about a $200 difference.
