Looking at purchasing a home theater receiver to go with my Energy RC Micro speakers and my Velodyne VX-11 sub.
My HTPC will be hooked up to it via hdmi. It has a 6670 video card for Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio formats.

Looking at spending $400 and I'm thinking about getting the Marantz NR1402.

I'm not to concerned with apple airplay features or networking but it has to have Audyssey MultEQ for subwoofer equalization.
Any have anymore suggestions? Denon AVR-1712?

Im also thinking of getting a Schiit Asgard to go with my HIFIman HE-400 headphones if they ever ship out.

And a Turntable maybe a project 3, rega, or music hall. (unless someone wants to sell me their technics sl-1200 turntable sitting in the garage.)

How do I hookup the Asguard to the receiver? and also the turntable? turntable will probably have a preamp.

Wouldn't buy anything Bose other than their noise-cancelling headsets. Those are freaking awesome.

A set of Klipsch headphones would run you less for the same or better quality.
