Hello,
I have a dying Yamaha RX-v1900, which I bought hoping naively that it would also be a good Hifi amplifier. Which is not, of course. But I can use it with a stereo amplifier by bypassing it for the front channels using its pre outs. This works well.
Now that I need to replace it I won't spend as much money as I did with the RX-V1900. I just want it to do a decent 5.1 job with movies, video games (rarely) and multichannels SACD/DSD (even more rarely).
And of course it must have pre outs for the front speakers.
It would be also good of if it does not get outdated after a couple years by new video standards.
With the new 2017 models coming and the January sales I'm sure that I can find a good replacement for my Yamaha for a reasonable price. I haven't followed the market in a while so suggestions are welcome.
Cheers !
