Hello everyone,
like many other posts on here i need serious help
I have been doing research for a home theater receiver. Over time i would like to build a great HT system with very high quality sound. Ideally this will be used for music with movies being a second priority.
I listen to all types of music from folk to nearly every form of rock (except death metal). I really enjoy hearing the high's in any music i listen to. I listen to both vinyl & SACD's. I currently have klipsch towers for my main setup but plan on upgrading in the near future to possibly Martin Logan's electrostatic speakers...
i have been looking at the Onkyo TX-NR3009 b/c it is said to have a built in DAC.
Ultimately i keep getting mixed reviews and answers as to what receive to purchase and am really confused. I keep hearing Yamaha has the best sound, then onkyo then Marantz... I want to keep my purchase between $1k-$2k for the receiver alone but if someone told me "spend $2500 on both a receiver and an amp or separate DAC and you'll have superior sound" then i would do it.
lol help!
