Hi guys, just joined the forum and this is my first post and thread
The question:
I have a Yamaha RX-A3070, using 7 channels on a 7ch Power Amp, so currently not using any internal amps. Would I make any benefits if I was to trade in and upgrade to either the CX-5100 (which is the same model year as 3070 so same feature set), or the CX-A5200 which will be the following years feature set so will gain surround sound AI.
But will there be any benefit in sound quality over my current set up with the 3070 or anything else I'm missing, I can only think of the balanced connection benefit over unbalanced benefit to the 7ch power amp.
One part of me says it'll be a downgrade as I'll be swapping a box with amps to no amps, the other part or me says the CX-A5200 will be a more focused dedicated separate product, and separates are meant to be better?
Any advice would be super appreciated
