Yamaha RX-V465 vs. Pioneer VSX-819H-k

[McGarnigal]

Hey, these are 2 new receiver models right around the $300 mark. I had been aiming for a new yamaha or onkyo, but I figured this Pioneer isn't too shabby either. Besides a few things like 4 hdmi inputs vs 3, and THD .9 vs .05, would anyone like to weigh in on these? tHanks

I would recommend reading this thread for his direct experiences with Yamaha and Pioneer.

I've been a long time Yamaha user, and I whole heartedly recommend them. I would suggest passing on Pioneer unless you're buying from the Elite line, which isn't available in the $300 range.
