Thanks for the reply guys..
I just spoke to a friend of mines and he recommended the Pioneer Vsx-1014. I looked that the specs and found it to be quite impressive. Any input on this receiver?
Thanks again..
ModBoyzz,
I just purchased a VSX-1014 yesterday myself, upgrading from an Onkyo TX-SR501. I have Polk R30s running left and right fronts, and a CSi3 as my center, but differ from you on my surrounds, as I have Klipsch SS-1s. At the moment I lack a sub, so I can't speak for that component with the 1014.
However, I can tell a huge difference between my old receiver and new one. One of the major points for the receiver for me was the MCACC setup utility, and it worked like a charm. After 5 minutes of hissing and static noises, the setup sounded great. I haven't played a movie yet, been dying to, but the music I listened to today sounded wonderful.
If you have any specific questions regarding the 1014, give them a shot and I'll see what I can answer.
