New amp

[spursman1]

Hi there,

I have had my trusted Pioneer VSX-D2011 for about 7 years now. Can't believe how quickly time flies!

I am looking to upgrade this to take advantage of HDMI/Dolby TrueHD etc.

I only have a 5.1 setup due to room limitations.

Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement that won't break the bank?

Many thanks

How much is in the bank that we are not allowed to break into And what speakers are you using with the amp?

My bank is quite small...so ideally not more than £500.

I'm using the Kef eggs.

Thanks

I think if you're happy with the Pioneer sound with your speakers, then go with another Pioneer.

The VSX 919AH-K AV is around £400 and the next one above, the 1019 is about £550 (quick google search).

If you would like to change the sound, then the Yamaha or denon recievers will give a warmer overall sound.

Yamaha 765 £350
Denon 1910 £400
yamaha 1065 £500
