Why are you unhappy with your current receiver? What are you looking for 'more' of?

 

[dukieduke]

want to go 6.1 or 7.1,5.1 it sounds great by all means happy with it,got it for a really good price,but just want to up grade

What DVD's can you get that will play 6.1 or for that matter 7.1? Am I that out of touch with this these days? I mean, what ever I rent it typically only will do 5.1. Is the funny sound fields what you are after with 6.1 or 7.1?

 

[dukieduke]

no,just more sound

JBL and Yamaha makes a good combination so I would recommend looking @ the latest Yamaha offerings!!!

I bought the Yamaha RX-V1300 (APR '03 ) which is 6.1 and what I discovered early on is that one of the great options available is Forcing-ON the Matrix 6.1 Mode with any of my DD/DTS 5.1 blockbuster DVD's!!! The effects can range from very subtle to down-right jaw-dropping!!! :thmbsp: :thmbsp:

FYI: You can read about it in my RX-V1300 subjective review!

If I was in the market for a new receiver, I would get one with HDMI inputs for switching video and audio. If you like Yamaha, they have the RXV4600 that will do everything you want at a decent price. If you do not need HDMI switching, I would recommend the Outlaw 990 which has received great reviews for sound quality.

that outlaw looks really good,how much they go for,

He is their price list. They also have some B stock. I do not know the difference between the B stock and the regular priced units, but I am sure the info is on their site.
