Hi Everyone
Looking for a bit of advice with regards to upgrading my current AV Receiver (hopefully to full proof it for 8k).
I've currently got a Denon AVR-x6200w and unfortunately the last couple of weeks its been behaving a bit oddly (two weeks ago I paid for the Auro upgrade, basically the update failed bricked it, however some how after 6 hours I managed to reset it but when listening to music/movies/games in Dolby Atmos and Dolby surround intermittently part of the audio has disappeared or gone very very quiet for about 10 second before coming back to normal, almost makes part of the audio track like listening to an instrumental version lol) Could that software update caused that issue? Kind of annoyed paying for the update and since then its gone weird!
Anyway sorry I digress.
Although the Denon's been good there are a few other models out there I'm interested in and wondering after 6 years if they would be a decent upgrade? The ones I'm interested in are the following...
Marantz SR7015,or SR8015 however it may be a tad too pricey
Denon AVR-X4700H or AVR-X6700H
Yamaha RX-A6A (when ever it comes out)
I mainly use the AV for Music with a bit of gaming and movies but mainly music. (actually quite liking the hi res and spatial audio from the Apple tv at the moment)
The speakers I use are Focal Chora 826-D x2 , Chora 806 x2, Centre & SVS Prime Elevation x2 5.1.4 setup.
On paper the SR7015 and X4700H doesn't sound as powerful as what I currently have but would that matter, would any of the above models be able to drive my speaker's with no issues? Would it be a lot quieter than my old one?
Sorry for all the questions just a bit bamboozled of what to go for.
Many thanks in advance Ollie
