The one that if you're changing, gives you the additional functionality you want? Why are you changing particularly?

One of my input ports is not functioning. I have to use the SAT port for my TV or CABLE and I would like to have Bluetooth capability.

Just one and you still have more to spare? Bluetooth I can't imagine as a goal compared to the better wifi options.

I would like to have wifi capability which is not a option on my current pioneer elite receiver.

The Elite SC-LX901 is the best choice.

You could simply add a generic BT receiver. What lovin is saying is that BT functionality shouldn't be a make/break on an AVR.

Note, my Pioneer Elite VSX-82TXS is still in service too! It has seen daily use for ~14 years, but it has been moved to bedroom duty and replaced in the living room with a Denon 4400.

You can spend the bigger bucks on an Elite SC-LX901 or 801 if you want but look at the SC-LX 701 IMHO. Just purchased one from Accessories for Less down in Florida for just under a grand. Have had it now for about a month and I love it. Replaced an older Elite AVR with this model as well.

What's your budget?
