best AVR for me out of these 3 for 50% music and 50% movies with my current speakers?
I’m used to Audyssey so setting a Yamaha seems maybe not as good?
Get a 2ch amp with HT bypass for music, you will not regret it. You would need to upgrade the AVR to something with at least L/R pre-outs of course.

All sage advice, but don’t rule out Marantz. SR series. They are very good with music from what I have read and heard
I would read up on the Yamaha AVR as I don’t think their room correction is up to much.
All the older models are sold out. SR6015 costs over 1100£ which is bit of crazy price..
They have manual PEQ which may be handy for guys who like to tweak with REW, but @Waynester probably wants something easy like XT32.
Upgrade your bk xls200 to jtr rs2.
Marantz av test worse than Denon avr
Or just hold on until Black Friday and/or any new models are announced. There's no need to rush.
You’re right... no need to rush as my Denon 2200 can suffice until a good deal comes up on a ARX4500 or similar one, if any of you see one in silver (preferably) or black, let me know guys
yes I do! I like XT32 and anything else other than that would frighten me
the Marantz models seem to be get slated on here by a proper audio engineer, read this guys reviews - very interesting they use XT32 or lesser so I was interested in one before I read this interested in Marantz aswell
Marantz SR6014 AVR Review
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Marantz SR6014 Audio/Video Receiver. It was purchased new and kindly drop shipped to me. It costs US $1,500. The SR6014 looks just like all the other Marantz AV products: I must say, as iconic as the round display is, coming from testing...www.audiosciencereview.com
Fair enough.
Just read his entire review, as I have on some other AVR’s before.
so it seems that I like distortion as I am chuffed with my 6013 which is basically the same as the 6014
I am using the analog inputs from my Panasonic player as that has much better Dac than the Marantz for cd playback.
If the bass sounds overcooked you can try and turn off dynamic eq too. I didn’t like what it did to my system.
