I have been away from this forum for a long time, but the particular skills here are needed once again. Basically, my HDTV is crapping out on me and I'm looking to get a new 4k to replace it.
My receiver, a Pioneer Elite VSX-52 paired with Aperion 6t and a 5c, has served me well over the past years. Since I would like to continue to have all sources go through my receiver, this requires an upgrade.
I am debating going with either a new all-in-one receiver or possibly with a lower receiver with pre-outs and a separate amp. I have an affinity for Pioneer Elites, but I am open to suggestions. Side note, I would like something with a little more power. The rare times I have the house to myself, the receiver seems to run out of breath with my speakers (91db/w sensitivity).
So what do you guys think? Should I got with something like a SC-90 and get 2-channel for the towers or upgrade to something like the SC-95?
