Can anyone help me decide on a new a/v receiver for my system. I have narrowed my picks to the Denon 3806, the Yamaha V2600 and the Pioneer 74txvi. Not sure of the HDMI upconverting will matter much when Directv goes to all digital signal with the new HD dish. I just want to make sure I have enough for the future upgrades in products and the best sound out of my speakers. Here is what I am running now.
Denon AVR 1905. Monster Power HTS3500, Samsung DVD-HD84 with DVI, Phillips Directv DVR, Directv H-20 with HDMI and a Mitsubishi 65 HDTV with DVI. For speakers I am running Klipsch RF15 for fronts, RC25 for center, Klipsch RS25 surrounds and a Velodyne DSP-10
I do like my Denon 1905, but would like to step that up. I would like the THX cert., but not sure if that is a big deal when it comes to great sound or music. Any Ideas??
