I personally would go with the yamaha , because I know it's A good sounding receiver !

rded · 02-27-2009, 05:46 PM

I'm biased with onkyo 606 at that price range. The downside, this receiver has zero pre-outs incase you want to add an amplifier later.

crackinhedz · 02-27-2009, 05:52 PM

yamaha 663.

or the pioneer.

dubldown · 02-27-2009, 05:57 PM

Definitely the Yamaha

mugupo · 02-27-2009, 05:57 PM

Not really........

The Pioneer VSX-1018AH is easily the best receiver on your list. It is basicly an Elite without the added warranty.

dobyblue · 02-27-2009, 06:06 PM

I would choose the Pioneer - great sounding receiver.
I owned the 1014TX.

blujacket · 02-27-2009, 06:12 PM

Budget?

Alaskankaijudude · 02-27-2009, 06:29 PM

I have the 863. Great unit.

Doughoef · 02-27-2009, 06:49 PM

Yamaha RX-V663. Reliability/heat issues scared me away from Onkyo 606. I picked up for $300 open box.

snoman_99 · 02-27-2009, 06:54 PM

We have owned our Pioneer 1018 for over a year now and we are really pleased with our purchase... The Yamaha has the 7.2 feature for a left and right subwoofer... thats a nice feature addition.

It is great for the price, but if you can get the Denon for $400, do it.
