We love to spend the weekend catching up on movies. However, to make a proper movie marathon, you're going to need the right equipment. A good receiver is an absolute must.
A receiver serves as the hub for all of your AV equipment. The HDTV, the speakers, the Blu-ray player, the Roku box; it's where everything comes together. You probably don't want to cheap out on something that comes in contact with so many awesome AV components.
Yes, a good receiver can be expensive -- but not today. Amazon has listed the Yamaha RX-V573 7.1-Channel Network AV Receiver as its Gold Box Deal of the Day. For today only (Monday, March 18, 2013), you can snag this receiver for 45 percent off its MSRP. That makes the purchase price just $299.95, which also includes free shipping.
