Hey Everyone.
I've been told this may be a better place to post this question,
At the moment i am running an old sony 7.2ch system in a box. The Receiver is the sony STR K1000P. (this is the system that preceded the Muteki system in Australia)
My questions is: I am looking to upgrade to a receiver that has HDMI inputs with pass-through. and just a general upgrade to get some extra features that this current receiver is missing. I have actually found a receiver that I am quite interested in but would like to know if it is an upgrade, downgrade or side step from what I am using. I have found the Denon AVR X540BT for under $500 au and seems to fit the criteria I am looking for. I do realize i would be cutting out 2 channels (I can live with that) I am wondering if it would be a worthwhile upgrade not just for the extra features but hopefully improved sound quality and be able to use dolby and dts features i am currently not able to. The speakers for this system are rated to 6 Ohms and there are 2 active subs.
If anyone knows if it would be a good upgrade or not, that would be great. Or if anyone has any other suggestions on a receiver around the $500 au mark.
Cheers.
