Receiver Options - Blu-ray Forum

nezff · 02-16-2009, 02:15 PM

Ok guys I have narrowed it down to these receivers considering which option I choose above.

Receivers to act as a pre/pro with the emotiva:

Marantz SR5003 90x7 3 HDMIs v1.3a Audyssey $599

Yamaha RX-V863 105x7 3 HDMIs v1.3a YPAO correction $674

Onkyo TX SR806 130x7 Audyssey $599

Receivers to push everything, NO emotiva:

Onkyo TX SR876 140x7 4 HDMIs Audyssey ISF video calib. $911

Onkyo TX SR905 140x7 Audyssey $943 with a 3 year warranty. Onkyo Factory Refurbished from Accessories4less.com

Yamaha RX-V1900 130x7 YPAO correction $974

Yamaha RX-V1800 130x7 YPAO correcton $700-$800

For the money in option 1, I would have to say I would like the Marantz 5003 or the Onkyo 806 since they are the same price but the onkyo has more power per channel for the same price.

For the money in option 2, I would have to say I would like the Onkyo 876. Onkyo 905. or the Yamaha RX-V1800. The onkyo definately has more perks, wattage, and a longer warranty. It also has Audyssey since I havent heard great things about the Yamaha room correction. I would have to say the Onkyo 905 would be a better choice in this option.

what do you guys think? thanks in advance.

I say go for the 905!

The networking capabilities it has are great.

Sonny · 02-16-2009, 02:36 PM

Get the 905. I have 2 thats why!!

nezff · 02-16-2009, 02:38 PM

thats what i think too. Thats only if I dont keep my emotiva. If I do keep it what do you think about the marantz 5003 or the onkyo 806?

nezff · 02-16-2009, 06:44 PM

ok let me ask this. If I keep my Emotiva XPA-3, would you guys save the money and get the Marantz 5003 for $599 with a 3 year warranty or buy the Onkyo 905 for $943 with a 3 year warranty or get the onkyo 806 for $599?

Dilemnias! wow

The Onkyo 805 all the way.

Johnny Vinyl · 02-16-2009, 02:35 PM

I cannot make a comment about the Audessey vs. YPAO correction methods, but the Yamaha RX-V1800 is a solid receiver. I have it's HTR counterpart (see sig) and the YPAO works fine, just so you know.

I've heard that the ONKYO's can run rather warm/hot, so with the receiver being in that nice cabinet you have you might want to take that into account.

As you well know, there are pros and cons with everything, but I'm sure you can figure out which model is right for you. Congrats in advance on YOUR choice!

I would suggest getting the Yamaha RX-V1900 or the RX-V1800. Both have great amplifier sections and features. You can either use them alone or as your pre amp / processor as well. They are fantastic with both music and movies.

Here's a review of the 1800:

crackinhedz · 02-17-2009, 11:20 PM

the 805 for $400 is a no brainer! my opinion at least. (as long as its in good condition)

Opips2 · 02-17-2009, 11:26 PM

uh...hmmm i pick Marantz for you. It's excellence perfomamce

Marantz SR5003 90x7 3 HDMIs v1.3a Audyssey $599

I don't know, what a price!!
it's good price. I wish I buy this Marantz

nezff · 02-17-2009, 11:45 PM

im thinking of getting the 876. That is the one that im leaning towards the most. I like the 805 and the 905.
the marantz is really out of the picture.

Steve · 02-17-2009, 11:51 PM

I'm just curious what Emotiva you have and what made you decide to sell it? Remember that receiver power ratings are usually based on 2 channel listening. The Onkyo 805 is one that actually comes close to its rated power with all channels driven. You'll definitely be getting more power from keeping the amp in your system than from just a receiver.
