Hi Folks,
My first post here. I need some unbiased help. I live in Vermont with no higher end Audio store within 2 hours, that's why I need help. I currently have a Yamaha RX-V1050 receiver which I have had for about 12 years. Still works great. I just upgraded to RBH MC6 Series speakers for a surround setup, including a TS-12AP sub. I have thought about upgrading to the Yamaha rx-V2400 to get some of the new features and more power to the rear speakers. I mostly listen to music, but love the idea of a home theater setup. The up-conversion from composite to component looks like a nice feature too. Are the new receivers that much better then mine (sound quality wise) or just more bells and whisltes. Is the RX-V2400 a good choice or should I go with something else? Is the RX-v1050 still worth anything or is it too old? My budget is about $800-$900. I also looked at the Onkyo NR901 with networking built in. Any comments.
Thanks for the help everyone.
