General Quality (Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer)
Sorry for the nube question, but I am looking for comments on general quality of these 3 brands. I am in need of a good quality reciever in the $500 - $1000 range, preferably on the low side of that. It will be used about half and half for HT and Audio. I listen to a bit of jazz and like a nice crisp sound, hence my Super 2 fronts. I would like a full 7.1 setup with some decent amperage but quality for the dollar is of upmost importance. In my range I have come up up with offerings from the 3 above brands. With out getting in to a ton of specifics I would love to here thoughts on overall quallity and sound. Also thoughts on the useability and value of this Yamaha auto configuration mike system would be apreciated.
Thanks in advance.
