Good home cinema 7.1 reciever for like £300. Support for Bi Amping a must.?
I need to buy a new home cinema reciever. Minimum specs are these:
7.1 channel, binding posts. HDMI 3 only required inputs, 1 output.
I will be using it for 5.1, but I want to use the 2 spare connectors to Bi Amp my stereo fronts.
Support for Linear PCM, since ps3 will decode DTS and Dolby HD.
Good sound quality, of course. I have Mordaunt Short MS914i's, MS905C, and MS903 rears. Anything to suit those? The aluminium drivers I hear provide a good detailed sound, but I have yet to hear it as my amp was pre bought with a full system so no customisation and it's pretty poor quality.
Any suggestions people, but I do tend to skew towards Onkyo as I've heard good things from them.

I have an Onkyo 706 that supports ALL of the above. It also has preamp outputs so that you can ditch the internal amps and upgrade outside of the receiver. The OM shows you how to set up biamping.

You can search for a used but good condition Onkyo tx-sr875 av receiver on ebay. It has all the features you're looking for. I use the 875 for my b&w 703 bi-amp using the sur-back channel and it sound excellent. The 875 has 200w/ch x7 plus the sub out, 4 hdmi in 1out.Its a future proofed av receiver at a good price. Just make sure your speakers are bi-amp capable.Hope this helps..

As you have mentioned and previous answers have said, your best bet is an Onkyo.
They are the only company who offer a good quality a/v amplifier, with all the features that you want, that's also within your very limited budget.
