Hey Guys!

I am looking to upgrade my Yammy RX-V795A and am considering the RX-V2600 or the Pioneer Elite VSX-72TXV.

I have listened to both (at the dealer) and they both sound good to my ears, I am unable to test the video (HDMI) performance at this dealer. I realize the Elite is an older model but am curious which is the better overall unit, Was hoping to get some input from 72TXV owners.

The reason I am considering the PIONEER is the dealer has two open box units at what I consider a great deal (650.00 ea), they also have the RX-V2600 on sale for $950.00.

this unit will be used as a pre/pro since I have seperate amps.

speakers
Boston VR-3
Boston VRC
Boston VRX
Klipsch KSW-12
amps
Parasound A21
Outlaw M2200 (3)
video
HD-A1
Tivo series 3
SXRD XBR1 60"

any opinions welcomed

my budget is 800.00...if there are others I should consider...feel free to share

I prefer the Yamaha brand somewhat though

thanks!!
