Reciever Questions - Need your help...Please!

<font color='#000000'>I am currently in the market for a new reciever. &nbsp;I am currently &quot;trying&quot; a Yamaha Rx-V2400. &nbsp;In the 12 months, I had 3 Rotel RSX-1065 Recievers and had problems with each. &nbsp;I finally got to the point of frusteration where I went back and was just using an older Yamaha amp. &nbsp;Now I'm at the point where I want to jump back in to the reciever market and I'm not 100% convinced the RX-V2400 is for me. &nbsp;Main concern is power and sound - not bells and whistles. &nbsp;One of the things I did like about the Rotel product was the pure &quot;oomph&quot; and sound it produced. &nbsp;I loved the product - it just had serious reliability issues. &nbsp;I have a complete set of Definitive Technology speakers (2x BP2002, 1xCLR2002 &amp; 4XBP2x). &nbsp;Their efficiency rating is 92DB. &nbsp;I have a dedicated room that is about 12X16 that is insulated, etc. &nbsp;Budget is about $1500-$2000 for the amp but if I needed to spend a little more for the perfect product - I would. &nbsp;If I could save a bit and put that money elsewhere - I would as well. &nbsp;Thank you for your assistance, it is appreciated! &nbsp;

<font color='#000000'>I have the RX-V1300 and ProMonitor 200s x 3 and they are very punchy and lots of dimension, I don't think you'll make a mistake with the 2400, but if you need more power sacrifice some bells and whistles and get a 3300

<font color='#000000'>The 3300 would fit the bill nicely if you want a &quot;no frills&quot; unit that has plenty of power. &nbsp;However, I would suggest that you maybe try the 2400 out first before settling on the 3300. &nbsp;I just recently got the 2400 and have nothing but good impressions about it. &nbsp;Your speakers are very efficent so you should at least give the 2400 chance. &nbsp;It has many more bells and whistles over the 3300. &nbsp;So if its power satisfies your tastes, then I'd say stick with it. &nbsp;In my room that is roughly the same size as yours, the power and sound is top notch and more than what I need. &nbsp;I am also driving less efficient speakers than you are, around 89-90. &nbsp;If you can swing up to $2000, I would definitely be watching CES 2004 to see if a RXV-3400 comes out. &nbsp;
