Hi all,
Further to my recent purchase of the Pioneer Andrew Jones AJ 5235 XT 5.1 channel setup, I am planning to upgrade my old receiver (Denon 1508) with one of the below mentioned:
Pioneer VSX 1131: INR 46,000/- without bill and INR 52,000/- with bill.
Denon X2200: INR 55,000/- with bill
Marantz Sr 5010: INR 67,000/- without bill
Marantz Sr 6010: INR 78,000/- without bill
Of the above mentioned I could not audition any of the receivers (in Hyderabad) but am inclined towards Denon X2200 from the pricing point.
I also have a Marantz SR 6008 which was used in a demo room for 2+ yrs being offered at INR 55,000/-. I would be auditioning this and the Denon X2200 possibly tomorrow.
I have the set up in my living room (size 15*12 feet with multiple doors and windows) and I see limited scope for a 7.1 channel set up with no space behind my seating place. But Dolby Atmos; maybe.
My movies to music consumption is in the ratio 70:30.
1. Which of the above mentioned AVRs would be best suited to my speakers?
2. Are the above mentioned AVRs available at a lower price else where?
3. Would the Marantz SR6008 be an overkill for my speakers? If not, what would be the fair price for the same?
4. Dealer says, warranty is valid on the Pioneer irrespective of bill? Is this possible?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
