PROBLEM:
I am not keen on spending $ on a new reveiver right now, but am considering it since my new media/tv stand won't fit my Yamaha.
So, I'm considering a JVC avr since they are the only low profile units I have found, but I am wondering if a cheapish JVC 7.1 avr will do as good a job on audio?
QUESTION:
**Is it worth changing, just for the size of the unit, or are there other benefits (or reasons not to change)??
SETUP:
My Yamaha is about 5 years old by has served me very well. It's 70x per channel (5), wtih DTS/DD and lots of DSP's.
I have an Oppo 981 upscaling DVD player, a Samsung LN-T4661F TV, Energy 5.1 speaker set, and am getting a Time Warner HD cable box.
I will connect the DVD & cable box video to the TV via HDMI, and audio to the AVR via digital coax or optical. Also an ipod via monster y-cable.
So, worth it? Sure I could get the JVC 702, but not really worth for me to spend since I wont use most features.
THANKS! |
