I'm close to buying one of these receivers but I'm not sure which one is better.
Pioneer VSX-815 (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4153_209695979,00.html)or
Yamaha HTR-5850 (http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/HTIB/HTR5850.htm)
I currently have a Pioneer receiver and I haven't been very pleased. Lacking power even though it claims its 100w per channel and the remote is extremely frustrating. However this new model has MCACC which is amazing for the price and includes a nice universal remote. I just don't want to get burned by pioneer again.
I've never used a Yamaha before but I've heard great things.
I really need someones advice here.
Thanks.
