Since before there were HDMI ports on stereo receivers. hehe
I have it setup in my garage with my Linux box. 7.1 surround through Dolby PLx2. It's what I compare everything else I listen to, to.
The base is always responsive regardless of sound level, it's never muddy, and cleaning up between record levels is just one or two push-buttons away.
It used to be my primary home theater setup before going to a sound bar and satellite sub. The new system sounds no where near as good but it's a hell of a lot easier to setup (no wires). So this is now in my man-cave, so to speak. I ain't mad. lol

I use an Onkyo TX-SR705. I don't remember when I bought it exactly but I know it's at least 6-7 years old. At the time is was about an $800 receiver found it on sale for $500. It doesn't have the fancy on screen stuff or mobile connection stuff like the newer ones. Don't really need that because my computer controls the on screen stuff and the music.
I have had my cable box, computer, and PS3 running though it with no problems. All hdmi. It still works perfectly and I have put it through some abuse LOL!
I'm not sure you could go wrong with Yamaha, Denon or Onkyo.
Get the one with the features you want and the price you want to spend. Don't waste money on the tech or things you won't use.
