Hi,
I am going to be upgrading my AVR to go along with my next TV upgrade which will be a Panny 60" ( ZT60 or VT60 ).
My sources are PS3, extreme PC, iDevices ( AirPlay etc ), and possibly a mid range BD player, Virgin Tivo
Lot's of HD Movies and music of all genres bar 80s pop!! SACD and CD main source of music other than Apple lossless on the file side of things. Also will be my main gaming rig.
My speakers are 5.1 SVS Ultras with PB12-Plus
Have whittled it down to two which after own investigations:
Pioneer sc-lx86
Denon 4520
Have a £2.5K budget so they both nicely sit in range
Pioneer seems tremendously good on paper being and have read very good reviews, although it appears a mixed bag between the two. THX Ultra2 classified seems nice but isn't necessary if the sound of the Denon suits me better I guess. I am kinda used to Denon and am an Audyssey user, but if the pioneer proves better I wont mind switching.
Any advise what be great. I have no budget for speaker upgrades so the abive will be the end system for a few years.
Many thanks
