Sure, good point. I'm just curious.
The latest Yamaha range like the RX-A6A and A8A all look great.
Denon's are still easily one of the most recommended AVR's currently in the two communities I monitor.
I used to use several Pioneers 10 years ago, got the dreaded UE22 error on my 7.2 receiver with pre-amp outs. I loved that damn thing. Gave up the ghost. I got tired of opening it up and blowing it with a heat gun. I didn't buy anymore Pioneer after that. I've had two Onkyo, but low end budget ones. They're still kicking it to this day in use daily in some rooms (kid has one now). I didn't follow where Onkyo/Pioneer went after the past half a decade or more, I recall the bankruptsy thing, and then it seemed to get smoothed over and now they're dropping AVR's with modern stuff and pretty nice specs and pre-amp out layout, HDMI stuff, etc. Just curious if these are legit or if basically there's no point considering them and just turn back to Denon/Yamaha for the budget mid-range. I'm talking $750~1.5k range receivers, none of that $3k~6k stuff for me.
Very best,
