need advice for new/used avr
Need some advice on replacing my 12 year old Pioneer VSX 822-k AV receiver that just died. I have a 5.1 setup and use it only for watching TV. I would like to get a replacement with good sound quality prioritized. My budget is up to $800 new or used. I am considering the Denon AVR X2700H for $700 at Crutchfield, a new Denon AVR S760H for $450 at Costco, or a used NAD 758V3 for $500. Are these decent choices for my set up or are there other alternative choices I should look at? My room is 13 x 25 x 7.5 with the TV on the long wall. Currently using Kef Q100s as front speakers and a SVS SB1000 sub.
Thanks for the help.
I prefer Yamaha both for reliability and sound quality. You can find great deals at accessories4less.com on both Yammy and Denon. Probably the best sounding AVR in your price range would be a used Anthem like this MRX 720. It’s one generation old but a step up from the mass market brands. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650037292-anthem-mrx-720-4k-112-channel-receiver-atmos/ Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
+1 @soix . I own the anthem but if I was you I'd probably buy a Yamaha from a4 less |
