Which Brand for Home Theater
I Currently have a Pioneer Elite VSX-35tx that just broke (I think). I plugged in B-speakers for a couple days and on the third day of play, the receiver died after about a minute. The standby light is on but that is it. Unplugged everything and attempted to turn it on again, to the smell of burnt plastic.
So I think I'm in the market again and looking for a decent THX certified receiver. Looking at Pioneer (again), Onkyo, and Denon. I am not an audiophile but I don't want the receiver to blow again if I am using both A+B speakers. also would be nice to have an good automatic configuration. I think $1,000 is the absolute limit.
Thanks for any advice.
