Need help buying a receiver !!

[plangevin]

Hey guys,

Ok so i'm looking for a receiver to have great sound for my home theater.
My budget is 400$ CDN ( taxes not included )

Here are my top 2 contenders.. I was wondering if there was something better.

-Onkyo TX SR605 (370-500$)

-Yamaha RX-V661 (340-375$)


I appreciate your help,
Pat.

Both are good and at the same level of performance but i would lean towards Onkyo if it's just me.
