Epos ELS3 5.1 speaker, Pioneer VSX-80TXV or Yamaha RX-V659 receiver?

[eusvt]

Hi,

I currently own ELS-3 5.1 speaker system and for the receiver, I purchased Pioneer Elite VSX-80TXV. I am not sure if this was a good choice or I should go with Yamaha receiver such as RXV-659 since it is in the same price range?

Thank you very much

The fact that the 659 was chosen as one of the AH's products of the year and their testing said it would handle 4 Ohm loads would seem to make it the clear choice here, considering the ELS3s are 4 Ohm.
