Hi all,
Looking for some advice, as I had my mind set on the Denon AVRX3300W until I was told how good the Yamaha RXA6600 is and some of the really good things about that AVR, RS staff were telling me to go for the Yamaha over the Denon for it's sound quality and reliability (plus a lot more reasons they went in detail with). I will be able to get either of the two I pick at the same price, so just need to think which to go for now.
Bit of a background on the situation, as you might have read my signature and wondered why on Earth i'm after a X3300W if I have a X2200W already...so, the setup in the signature is in the living room, and we have a spare room which I use just for console gaming in. I'm about to upgrade the TV to an LG E6 and because I'm using a Tannoy HTS 5.1 speaker system, I will need to upgrade the AVR so I get 4k/HDR support.
So, the original plan was to buy the X3300W, replace the X2200W with it in the living room and use the X2200W in the gaming room with the E6 and Tannoy HTS. But now I've been thrown a bit of a curve-ball with the Yamaha. One of the RS managers spent quite a long time telling me all about it, and how it compares to the X2200W which we currently have.
Unsure which I should pick now, I'm probably going to purchase tomorrow. Any advice would be much appreciated from those who have the AVRs or have upgraded recently etc. Seems like the Yamaha isn't getting as much love as it should online and Denon seems to be the popular choice.
