Its been along time since Ive been down this road.
It used to be quite simple finding a receiver that would deliver pounding stereo and 5channel audio bliss.
But boy the times have changed.
Why ..does somebody need their cell phone attached to their home audio??!!??
Given all the techno garb and bling ..that really only takes up space..for I dunno ..better power supplies and audio components!!
Heck at the Future Shop.. Onkyo was the only manufacturer that used a shielded Transformer,Nichicon and Elna caps
Sony had a mesh mash of capacitors ,that included everything..even CapOnX..really..
Yamaha was decked out respectably with Nichicon..then a whole bunch of Audio Capacitors ..but no brand name.
Pioneer..To be honest ..I didn't bother looking further after the high power light weight ...very light weight..
The current palette of audio gear on the market seems to do everything except audio.
Brass tacks.. Does anybody produce an AVR that does home theater, and does it with authority anymore.
Im upgrading from Denon AVR. ..I don't need or want the Bling.
HDMI, DTS,Yess these are must have's.
Who does home stereo and theater anymore?
Who does it well?
Who does it great?
To be honest.. I'm really leaning towards mono blocks and a processor pre-amp..Im not going to get what I want I don't believe.
