[ronGarcia]

I have narrowed it down to these recievers
Denon 1905
Yamaha HTR-5760
Pioneer VSX-1014TX

Please any feedback if you own any one of these
Matched up with
Polk System
Center CS300
Rear RT15 (4 of them)
Front RT800
Subs Velodyne (2 of them)
VA-907.2 and VA-807
TV Pioneer Elite Pro-510 HD

I want something powerful enough to drive everything and make it sound great also. Thanks very much for the help and your thoughts are much appreciated, as I haven't bought a reciever in years.

Marantz SR-5500...............oh wait, that's not one of your options...........

They're all good receivers. Buy the one with the features you want and with the best price. You won't make a mistake with any of them.

Best is a relative term. Most receivers at the same price point are going to be of similar quality. It really boils down to personal preferences. I, personally, prefer Yamaha. One of the reasons I chose Yamaha over Denon is that I like the sales staff at the store that sold Yamaha beter than the sales staff at the store that sold Denon.

Yamaha makes some great stuff, but when it comes to service, good luck. So if something goes wrong with the receiver, you will have problems getting assistance. Do as much research as you can and you're sure to be satisfied. Best of luck...

I am open to other options in similar price ranges or even going to the next price range if it is worth it; and appreciate your advice
(I am not sure if I posted the quote correctly?)

You can pick up a Yamaha RX-V1400 (equivalent to 5790) on clearance at local dealers - about $500.

I just helped a friend purchase a new sound system. He purchased Canton Karat speakers and the Pioneer vsx 1014 rcvr. The rcvr is easy to set up. You should use banana plugs for the speaker wire terminations at the rcvr. This unit comes with its own mic for automatic calibration. All I can say is that I am very impressed with the whole system.
If I were looking for a rcvr today I would not hesitate to purchase the Pioneer vsx 1014. Very nice, warm sounding rcvr.

Good luck in your purchase,

Regards, Tom

I like how the pioneer is also THX, I am leaning towards this one but am not sure still. Thanks for input

I love, love, love my Pioneer 1014!
Good power, good options, good price.
(I also love the universal/learning remote it comes with)
