Default New Receiver Time!!!

Well the upgrade bug is bitting again. Im thinking about getting a new receiver. Im going to have to sell my Onkyo 805 for it But that dang bug is just itching me to get something new

The two models I was looking at are ether the Yamaha RX-Z7 or the Pioneer Elite SC-05.

What opinions do you all have on either one? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Around the same price as those receivers. $2000

I know the Z7 is like $2500 but I can get it for $1799 so thats why its in the topic not the 3900

Why don't you keep your 805 and just get an awesome 7 channel amp?

That is a very good idea. I might just go 5 channels though, since I have no usefor 7.1 in my setup or nor will I in the near-mid future.

which connects to the ground bus in the panel and then distrubites thru the house
