Looking for new AV Receiver

Hi. I’m looking for help to buy a new receiver. Just bought a Sharp OLED so need to upgrade to a 4k receiver. I have now a Pioneer Elite VSX94 TXH with Martin Logan Clarity speakers, ML Vignette surrounds, ML Motion 8 center and an Emotiva X-PA2 amp. I use it for streaming: movies and video music. I am budgeted so want to keep it around $1k. All the reviews on the online stores make everything sound like junk. Hoping someone may have a good recommendation.

Thanks much, Neil

i've never heard huge differences in quality among the <$1k mass market avrs--i'd check out accessories4less, which has deep discounted prices on yamaha/denon and pick one that has the tech features you need.

Agreed 👍🏼 Accessories4less is a great on-line store with significant discounts

this one has front preouts, below budget,

a spec more power, free 3 year warranty (what is stnd warranty?)

includes DAC and Phono Input. Other different features?

I would get a 9 channel receiver if possible, even if you won't use all 9 channels right away you leave room for growth.
