If the pioneer receiver has the features and conveniences you want, then I say go for it. You're not likely to notice much difference in sound at all other than some of the DSP modes which I never use anyways.

thank you for replying !! it has what i want but not sure if it will sound better!! thats the problem. my yam is 6.1 the pioneer is 7.1 true dolby digital and dts hd. my yam does'nt. . is there a big difference?

Yeah, I guess in that case, there really can be. Depends on the movie track though. Some sound better and some sound the same. Thats a worthwhile upgrade in my book for sure. The actual "sound" when comparing apples to apples won't be any different, but when adding those sound formats it can make a difference.

If you sell your Yammy, let me know! I may have a good use for it...

i dont think i will sell my yamaha, probably use it upstairs.lol. the sc 25 really looks great, if i do get it. should i still use my power amp for the front 3 speakers? thank you for your replys. adwilk.
