using mordaunt-short carnival 2 bookshelf for fronts, carnival 3 for surround & carnival 5 for center. have a bic F12 475w sub, so which receiver would be best? i'm leaning to the yamaha cuz it has a builtin phono input. Thx!
 
after a day of more research, have discovered the onkyo tx-nr807 which is as good or better than either, but i'm still leaning toward the yamaha.
