For starters, could you list the size of the room, the volume level you usually prefer(what decibel level?), the speaker models used and the old receiver model just for reference. I ask this because you have a 400 wpc amp listed, and unless your room is massive and your speakers quite large you might be buying watts you'd never use.
Which Amp? Onkyo, Emotiva, Marantz, etc.
My 15 yrs old receiver died recently & I've the opportunity to upgrade. I'm planning to use Oppo BDP-105 in Pre/Pro mode in 5.1 setup.
I'm considering the following similarly priced ($1500-$2000) used/refurbished devices:
Amplifier: Emotiva XPR-5, MARANTZ MM8077, Onkyo PA-MC5500
OR
Receiver: ONKYO TX-NR5010, Onkyo TX-NR3010,YAMAHA RX-A3020, DENON AVR-4520CI & MARANTZ SR7007.
I do understand that the separate Amp would provide better sound & upgrade path but receivers will provide better functionality & features.
Which one would you recommend? I'm open to any other devices than the ones listed above.
Thanks for your time.
