Recommend an AVR
« on: Feb 10, 2020 at 10:29 PM »
Probably gasgas na tanong, but my 8 year old pioneer receiver just died.

Is there a brand that would last me more than 8 years, that won't burn a hole in my pocket? Or pare-pareho lang ang durability ng Pioneer / Yamaha / Onkyo / Denon?

Hopefully hindi lalagpas ng $400. Or may mabibili ba ako na less than 2 year old model na matibay?

I want a receiver na kahit 2.1 capable lang, that has inputs for at least 4 HDMI sources.

My Onkyo 608 was launched in 2010 and it was working perfectly fine until I upgraded in 2019 to an Onkyo 686 due to Atmos capability.

I still have my Onkyo Tx- NR616 which I also love until now (capable of 1080p to 4k upscaling compared to newer models)

One new spec that i think would interest someone, like me, is the form factor of an amp. Right now im thinking of a slim amp like marantz's that will fit my existing tv cabinet.
