I'm replacing my receiver which recently stopped outputting audio. It was a Denon 1712 and only lasted three years. I'm very disappointed since I had had a Denon before the 1712 and it worked brilliantly when I sold it to upgrade to the 1712. Right now my choices are:
Marantz NR1506
Yamaha RX-A550
Pioneer VSX-45
I am powering BIC Venturi DV 64 towers, DV62CLR-S center, D62-3LCR surrounds for a 5.2 setup with BIC F12's. My concern with the Marantz is if the wattage will be enough. I've never owned receivers from any of these brands. I did not care much for how Audyssey worked on the 1712 and mainly just used it for getting distances and levels. I'm mostly concerned purely with sound quality and durability. All of the wi-fi, and streaming music options don't really matter to me. I take very good care of my electronics so I'm hopeful that any of these choices will last at least 8-10 years. Which would you choose?
