Wow,to suggest Pioneer over a Rotel,I guess the gizmo guru's knew what they were doin'.Too bad sound quality has now taken a backseat to gadgets.btw,I own Rotel and Pioneer
I had a Rotel 1056 for 2 years,sold it on ebay,lost $100.I sold my 3802/03/05 for 1/2 of what I paid.Something to consider also.The buying public must be somewhat informed on Rotel.
Be happy with the 7200 for now,I owned a 7120,it had poor sound quality to my ears,it went back.The 7300 was $999.00 last weekend,w/$25 off card and 18 months no money finance.At that rate anyone wanting a decent avr could have scored a deal.
Hello All,I have a B&K ST202 2X150 watt amp for sale.Its in very nice shape and works great,$325.00 I also have a Rotel rsx1056 black,mint condition w/all accs.double box etc..$998.00 I also have an Adcom gfa5500 in great condition,2x200 watts,at 44lbs its got the goods.$495.00 All...
I don't know anything about an update,I have about 50 dvd-a disc/sacd.This unit has played everything I've ever put in it,burned and all,even disc my $1k player won't recognize.
For sale-563a purchased new and hardly used.It looks and functions like new,comes w/box/manual/remote.Unit does dvd-audio/sacd/etc.Shipped to your door in the lower 48 for $85.00
For everything but sound Denon,which i have used w/a wide variety of Klipsch w/decent results.For music the HK sounds better,the Denon is a little boring even w/ Klipsch.
I agree also,buy based on sound/value.I've owned several Denons(including the 3805)and several HK's(including the 630)both great units with similar power to my ears.It comes down to the difference in sound,there is a difference,you must decide which suits you best.
I'd pass on the Sony regardless of price,the Pioneer would surely outperform it.I think I'd look at HK and Denon if you're serious about sound,all imo.
HK,Rotel and Denon avrs work good together.Parasound,Rotel and BK amps work nicely,along with many other more expensive amps.The used amp suggestion is worth a thought.

Nick,the Rotels will sound quite a bit better than the Pioneer(I've owned both,53txi,1056 and many others).If sound quality is what you're after check the Rotels.The Rotels hold their value pretty well so used will still not be cheap.The 1056 at 75w/pr ch outpowers my 3803 easily and is better...
