Yamaha ad Pioneer have very similiar "warm" sounds, so I'm not surprised you are choosing between the two.
You won't go wrong with either , but I thought I would share with you that the Yamaha seams to play well with others
and is often the easiest to control when hooking up with other devices.
Best of luck,
O.C.
