I haven't posted on this forum, but thought I'd ask your opinions. My HT system currently has a Pioneer Elite VSX-36TX receiver which is a few years old now. Front speakers are Spendor S5e with a C5e center, and B&W Leisure 1s for the rear. There are also a pair of DIY powered subs. The video is handled very well by a Toshiba 1080p DLP 55".
I'd thinking of replacing the receiver with a newer model. I have in mind the Onkyo TX805, Arcam AVR350, or maybe another Pioneer Elite. The Arcam is a bit out my price range, but I want to have the best sound. I do NO video processing through the receiver, only audio.
What receiver(s) would you suggest?
Thanks for your opinions. Happy listening (and watching).
Regards,
JerryS
