Advice on AVR replacment....

[legendary70]

Hello. I sent in my Sony str-dh800 in for service with my directv protection plan. I pay $50 for them to fix anything from tv's, laptops, computers, phones, etc. I actually did a claim on my 5 year old 50in Samsung. They emailed me a day later that they would replace the unit with a new one instead of fixing the samsung. so they sent me an email with 3 options to choose from. 2 50 inchers (samsung, sony) and a 55 inch (LG). So i googled all three and chose the LG. Got the TV by UPS 2 days later. And I kept my samsung which only had 1 line going down vertically on the screen. WOW!

Well needless to say my sony AVR would not turn on. I did a claim with directv 4 days ago. They told me to mail it in to them with a prepaid label. I got an email today they will replace the unit with a new one. They emailed me 3 options. I googled them already......but i would like your opinions please?

I own 2 Onkyo AVR's. Also 2 Sony's....well now 1 sony. I have never owned a Yamaha.

I will have that AVR running a 7.2 or 5.1. It will run 2 JBL E90's, two subs, polk center, surrounds and two front highs.

Denon AVR-X3100W

Onkyo TX-NR737

Yamaha RX-A1040BL

thx.

Sorry for your problem. I'd go for the Yamaha Aventage myself. Not into Denon and the newer Onkyo's.

Holy moly......is it just me or are these replacements expensive.......whoooaaa. Im freaking excited!!

I am leaning towards the ONKYO. But i need advice from pros?? thx.

That Onkyo has AccuEQ room calibration which I read sucks. They don't use Audyssey anymore. Up to you.

I would retrospectively chime in.

I'll pretend you haven't bought anything. And say I would recommend whichever is cheaper and easier for you to use between the Yamaha & Denon.

 

[legendary70]

Yamaha it is!!

 

[legendary70]

As some of ya'll know. My directv protection plan is replacing my sony strdh800 for a Yamaha RXA1040. Well.......
