Have Any Thoughts on New Pioneer VSX-LX101 Receiver

I know its new but I thought maybe there was someone here who had some thought as to its value as a good receiver. I have to replace the one I have used for the past 3 years, a Pioneer VSX-43, our house had such a close lightning strike two weeks ago that all phones and tv with everything that was connected to it knocked out. Have replaced the tv with a Sony Bravia 60" smart tv (not a 4k model). And I have Pioneer SP-BS22 LR fronts and a matching center plus Sony bookshelf speakers for surround l/r. Oh and one sub, making up my 5.1 setup.

I had zero problems with that VSX-43 so am looking for something as easy to setup as it was with an addition of wireless wifi, which the specs say the VSX101 has. I am just a little worried when I see that Pioneer has merged with Onkyo since I last bought my VSX43. Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether this "sounds" like a good choice for me with the speakers that I have? I am not very technical, am 70, but I did get the vsx43 all connected and setup easily. Thank you for any help you might be.

Welcome.

Since that Pioneer served you well and was able to set it up, why not just get another one especially since you are familiar with it and Amazon still sells it.

Makes alot of sense. I checked amazon and they have 1 new @ $409 which is almost what I paid 3 years ago and the rest are used. Not interested in used or the overpriced one. Thanks much for the idea tho.

Bought and connected the VSX-LX101 yesterday. Very easy to setup and very pleased with its operation so far.
