Which one would you get, the HK for $350 or the Pioneer for $1000, which is better as a receiver i dont care about the hd decoder or THX decoders. i care about sound i get from the optical decoder. My favorite decoder is the dts es. By the way i have a 5.1 HK ts11 speaker set, and when im just listening to music i have 2 jbl balboas, and a jbls sub. so what would you get and why. so if you like the HK more or even the pioneer more sell it to me with facts.(the HK is sooooo much better looking)
