Can anyone please offer an opinion on whether it is worthwhile replacing an old Yamaha DSP-E390 processor with a new AV receiver just for using Prologic II (instead of standard Prologic) with Sky digital?
The dilemma is this: If I get a new AV receiver I would have to get rid also of my existing 2 channel amplifier and end up with a multichannel amp which might not be as good for listening to music. If, however, the enhancement in sound when watching Sky (mainly BBC/ITV/C4 and news channels but not sky movies) is substantial it might be worth the risk and the cost. I know a new AV receiver will also offer other goodies such as Dolby digital,DTS inputs for SACD etc. but at the moment I would be grateful to hear any views on the sound improvement the "stereo" rear channels of Prolific II compared with the mono of standard Prologic.
The AV receivers I have in mind are the Pioneer D2011 and Denon 3803
Many thanks
