Need help selecting a new AVR

[TLS Guy]

How would someone break an AVP?

Sound United was a vanity purchase by someone who had n experience with that kind of business. While someone can do what they want with their own money, this isn't a single item, it was major players in the consumer audio/video industry.

Uh, re-read your post if you want to see a good example of 'lack of self control', BTW.

Yes, that pretty much sums it up.

Oh, people can break ANYTHING.

I’ve seen people plugging wires/cables to their AVP from their amps while the amps were powered on. And end up having to send their Marantz in for repair.

Bryston started out as a medical device manufacturer also.

So Bryston might have inspired the Masimo guy.

But like you said, SU was way too much to handle.

If SU were just B&W speakers and Classe Amps, Masimo might have succeeded. Who knows.

If you keep this up, I will make a formal complaint to the mods.

I did.

He made it from my ignore list to my eff him list.

I think he's related to Trell.

Nah. Trell is related to. Dung heap.
And in his defense, Treb has lots of valuable info on interoperability and compatibility of components.

Trust me, I know people can blow up anything but Mark knows how to connect equipment. I meant "How can someone blow up an AVP under normal conditions and use?".

But Bryston was created before so much changed in manufacturing, the market and the world.

I don't know if he could have succeeded with just those two brands- not sure the global market for them is large enough but SU definitely wouldn't have lost as much as they did under his ownership.

Not likely. But not 100% IMPOSSIBLE.

Someone ELSE could have tampered (abnormal conditions and use) without TLS’s knowledge. Still not likely, but again not 100% IMPOSSIBLE.

Let’s look at it another way.

What’s are the ODDS of ONE person having TWO broken AVP’s in the “same time” period? That seems extremely unlucky. I would say the odds are low.

So not likely, but not 100% IMPOSSIBLE.

I do NOT think TLS “broke” his AVP. But I am not 100% sure nobody else ever “touched” his 2 AVPs.

Anyway, this thread has gotten of course.

Good choices for the OP:
Denon X3800, X4800, X6800
Yamaha RX-A6A
