[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the Pioneer i5 unit - very nice. Would have gone for the Denon
but=20
the auto calibrate version wasnt out at the time. The Denon can upshift=20
everything to componenent (that would have been nice too)

Feel free to come take a look...

[ukha_d] 7.1 AV amp recommendations?

Category:



I've been scouring the review sites for a while now, but haven't really
concluded anything, apart from perhaps Pioneer and Yamaha seem to offer=20
the
best value.  I'm looking for something with a 7.1 output, with the=20
priority
on movie sound rather than CD (it'll be driving Sonace in-wall/in ceiling
speakers, nothing too fancy).  Auto-calibration would be nice, but not
essential.  Decent video switching would also be a big plus.  I don't care
what it looks like, and a fancy remote isn't needed.  I'm sort of drawn to
the Pioneer VSX1015, which has nearly everything I need apart from the=20
video
switching.  The next model up, the AX2AV does, but costs a bit too=20
much...I
suspect I won't get away with much more than =A3500.  I'm not necessarily
looking for something new, but a quick look on eBay and AVForums doesn't
really turn up anything interesting.

Any recommendations?
