Well, I just got a receiver from my Uncle, and i turned it up too loud - and boom, the thing is dead 
. $95 to repair. So I'm back to using my all-in-one stero system again, and I'm sick of it. I want a new receiver. But I only want to spend around $200. I can spend a little more ($200 isn't a fast limit), but only if, say, $250 is gonna buy me a receiver that is a lot better than $200. I want Dolby Digital, and DTS decoding built in. Not the "ready" junk. I've found 3 reviews of the Technics SA-DX940, and they all rave about it. But 3 reviews is a rather small sample. Anyway, this receiver is going to drive 2 big Sony shelf speakers that came with my built in system, plus 3 altec lansings. The altec lansings have a wattage rating of 40W average, and 80W max at 8 ohms - I can give other info if needed off of the box - I don't have the info on the other two, but I would guess they would be about the same?. So I thought 100W per channel would be more then plenty (although I'm not an audiophile..connect me if this is wrong??). I want to have the possibility of adding a sub to get the full 5.1 setup. Any good sub recommendations (under $120 - again not fast limit, but ballpark pricing)? This receiver will be hooked up to my computer (Turtle Beach Montego II Quadzilla), and to the DVD player (Toshiba SD2200).
Thanks,
Eric
