Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and this is my 1st post.I need your suggestions on picking up the best AV receiver of this lot.
I have shortlisted Onkyo 606 / Denon 1909 / Yamaha 663. I currently own a Sony STR DE 597 6.1 AVR with Wharfdale Diamond 9 speaker set up.
My requirements are :
1) Good Surround effects , especially during dynamic action sequences ( Though my current Sony is good, but could be better)
2) Clear sound separation during dynamic sequences - in an action sequence all speakers seems to be activated without much highlight of effects, especially dialogues are not clear (my Sony).
I will not be listening to music on my AVR my use is only for movies.Not too keen on upscaling too since I will definitely pick up a Blue Ray by this year, and my Sony DVD player upscales anyways.
Quality of sound is my primary interest (DVD movies) .
Yamaha currently is not being considered due to 10k price difference compared to Onkyo and Denon.
A demo of DENON at Pro Fx Chennai left me disappointed with the surround effect (Denon + Polk Audio speaker combo) , the guys at the show room mentioned AVR is not calibrated hence lack of effects have requested me to come back for another demo today.
While picking up my speakers couple of months back checked out Onkyo demo, and was quite impressed.
But somehow I feel the "feel good" factor of owning a Denon is higher hence its confusing me a bit.
Pls help me choose.
