Not familiar with Cambridge Audio receiver although they are a big player in hi fi audio. I imagine the audio portion should be quite good, not sure about features/HDMI switching etc.
To LZ: I stumped onto this thread while searching for receivers with preout and you may find it useful:
Not sure Bose is the best choice for OP. Don't they have a huge mark-up and put more emphasis on marketing than anything else. Maybe I am just biased. :blink:
$1500的预算不错了。音箱建议考虑Bose® - Acoustimass® 10 Series IV Home Entertainment Speaker System。 如果在一般店里买可能税后会没有太大空间给Receiver了,所以可以跑一趟美国outlets的Bose店,会有比较好的价格和比较低的税拿下来。Bose的服务人员,还有网上一些专业测试评论会建议你买Onkyo的Receiver来搭配Bose音箱,因为他们发现这样的搭配效果最佳,所以Receiver你可以考虑Onkyo的。有一款其它品牌评价不错的是Denon AVR1912,我关注过一段时间期望它降价,结果没等到,于是就在一个打折的时候买了Yamaha的。
