I have been looking at getting a new receiver and have run across a pretty good deal on a 507. Before running across this deal my focus has been on the Yamaha 2400 and Denon 3805. I listen 60/40 movies to music. My room is fairly small approx 14'*17'*8' and I am running 5 Boston VR-M60 speakers with a SVS 20-39PC sub.
I like the look of all 3 of these receivers. The Denon and Yamaha truthfully sound very simialar to each other but I have not been able to hear the 507 although I have auditioned the Ref 50 so I assume the sound is very similar. I tend to keep most of my gear for several years so I am interested more in quailty sound than "bells and whistles" altough features like room eq could be worthwhile.
My questions:
1. Does the 507 upconvert video to component and is this necessary?
2. Are there any major problems with the 507 in ref to popping and losing digital signals with hi def cable boxes?
Any comments about the 507 or the other receivers I am lokking at would be appreciated. Thanks...
