    Looking for stereo separates that accept HDMI

    Best to pick up an AVR with pre-outs. You can add an external stereo amp if you find you need more power.

    Emotiva XPR-5

    The folks on the Emotiva lounge who have purchased them seem to like the XPR-5. It would certainly be a good item for Audioholics to review. How they would compare to the other brands is another matter.

    Suggestions for receiver for around $1000

    YAMAHA Aventage I like Yamaha. They are made in Malaysia, not China. The new Aventage 20 series has Airplay. One year's model back (10 series) has Pandora, Rhapsody, and some Internet Radio capabilities. Room correction is Yamaha's in house YPAO, which is pretty simple to operate. I...

    HELP: Legacy OR Monitor Audio 5.1 set-up? Huge $ decison that I do not want to regret

    @addictaudio - if you don't mind going a version back, Saturday Audio in Illinois sells the discontinued and trade show demo Monitor Audio speakers. Bought my GRs when the GS series was the current series. Pricing is reasonable, but you have to check what he has. He wil ship them as well.

    HELP: Legacy OR Monitor Audio 5.1 set-up? Huge $ decison that I do not want to regret

    I have MA Gold Reference (GR) for fronts & center, and silver bookshelves for the surrounds. Love them. The GRs are two series before the GXs. They are especially wonderful for music.

    Emotiva UMC1 users, need your advice on whether to upgrade my Yammy AVR

    Personally, I'd stand pat and wait to see how the UMC-200 works out. The UMC-1 had many bugs, and even some of the late adopters are having issues. My guess is the UMC-200 will be a much nicer rig.

    I was researching many of the same models. I went with one version back on the top Yamaha, RX-A3010. $1400 on amazon, authorized dealer. Very close to the current model 3020 which was just released. You can compare the two models at the Yamaha USA site. Using mine as a pre pro to drive a...

    Ramblings of a man who likes $300 receiver sound over $1,600 Denon 4311ci.

    Just hooked up a new Yammie RX-A3010. I'm using it as a prepro with an external Multichannel amp. Sounds darn good. Amazon and World Wide Stereo through Amazon had them at a very good price. Both are authorized dealers.

    Will Pay for You to Set Up my Denon 4311 Receiver. I am in NYC.

    Emotiva XMC-1 Processor Preview

    Speaking of Japanese companies, it's getting harder to find a Japanese made pre-pro or receiver wich is actually made in Japan. Most things are outsourced to China or Malaysia now. If I don't give the XMC-1 a test drive, or get tired of waiting, I may seek out a Japan made pre-pro or AVR. I...

    Emotiva XMC-1 Processor Preview

    The XMC-1 looks very promising, but you very well might be right about competing with the larger companies. Emotiva has openly stated they are not being held up by outside suppliers and that this product is an in-house product.

    Emotiva XMC-1 Processor Preview

    Emotiva's UMC-1 is being clearanced and suceeded by the UMC-200 which should be out starting in December. The XMC-1 is supposed to be a wiz bang processor, with high quality room correction and the latest options. I don't own a UMC-1 so I can't comment about the bugs, but it seems most of...
