Hello, I am looking for some advice on purchasing a new AV Receiver. I am more concerned with music than anything but I will be using the AVR for home theatre as well. As of right now, I have a Yamaha TSR-5790 that is hooked up to a VIZIO E-Series 55” Class Full-Array LED Smart TV | E55-C1 that I one day will upgrade. Other than that it's hooked up to an Xbox One as I am an avid gamer. I do plan on one day acquiring a pair of Cerwin XLS-12, but not sure when. I have about $750-$800 to spend. Here is a list of me speakers that I have purchased within the past 2 and half years so I am still breaking them in. I like to mix and match my CV's. Thanks in advance for your help.

. You might want to try the home theater section for advice on avrs as most of us two channel folks don’t use them. I can say I liked denon when I had one.
