I have a new (less than one month old) Pioneer Elite SC-07. Very impressive specs, some good reviews. I am going in the opposite direction, will sell the Pioneer at a great price if you're interested after doing your research.
Best Mainstream Receiver for 2 Channel Audio
I'm looking to pick up a receiver to serve double duty for home theater and 2 channel audio. I'm still unsure how much quality I'd lose from a dedicated stereo preamp/amp or integrated but I'm currently looking at the mainstream brands - Sony, Denon, Marantz, Onkyo, Pioneer, etc. Which make and model do folks here most highly recommend for 2 channel audio quality? Price range would be $1500-$2000.
