Receiver suggestions please....

[natev]

Hello, New to this forum. Currently have an H/K AVR 100 (45*5), just acquired the Def TEch 7004 tower for front and clr 2500 for center, still looking for surrounds. My question is, since the Def Techs are self amped for the 10" subs in each, will I notice a big improvement from upgradng to a much nicer receiver? Like Rotel 1056, Pioneer Elite, Marantz 7400, Denon 2805 or 3805 of another H/K 630 or likewise. I am not an Onkyo fan (been there before).

Signal is coming from a Pioneer Elite DV 45a? Thoughts on this would be appreciated as well as it is only 5 days old.

Also everything is connected to a 43" Pioneer 4340HD Plasma.

Any thoughts suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Great looking forum btw.

Thanks!
Nate

receiver

Pioneer Elite VSX-54TX. Go to Tweeter and have a listen. It will blow away any other receiver anywhere near the price ($1000) It has an MSRP of $1500, but Tweeter sells it for 1000. You can buy it on the internet for $750 or less. I have it, and I also have the DV-45A, and it is a great match. Multichannel audio sounds teriffic, and 2-channel and movies are unbelievable. You can't go wrong with Pioneer Elite. By the way, I have owned 3 Yamaha $1000 receivers and 1 Denon(3805). Yamaha's reliability is superior, Denon's is teribble. But the sound quality on the Pioneer is closer to the Yamaha Z9 ($4500) than the 2400 ($1000).

Of course, this is a matter of opinion.

I have a Denon 3805 and absolutely love it for both music and movies. I highly recommend giving that reciever some time for demo. My guess is you'll love it. Lots of other people here seem to like that reciever as well. -Chad
