Hi All,
I am looking for a decent 7.2 channel Av reciever with atmos. This will be my first AV recever, and I have Klipsch reference speakers 5.0 (already bought)
I am current in Europe so have more options to buy.
Based on review I was looking into Denon 2400h/2500h then got my eye on Sony STR 10180 DN for the powerful amp section. So was leaning more to buy Sony and all of a sudden my cousin confused me to get a Pioneer elite series (though he has Marantz SR5012 for his own). And surprisingly I see Pioneer vsx LX503 selling for 600 euros here (Amazon.de).
My budget wasn't 600euros initially, but if I am ready to spend 600 now, I see Marantz SR5013 is also 600 and many good reviews.
Now my question is, is it good to go with Pioneer for extra channels and pre-outs or Marantz is good choice? OR Pioneer is not that bad compare to Marantz in sound department.
