    Need a new receiver

    I may be able to get a much better price!! And if you want in I can pass the info on to you. I will have the price Monday.

    I've been looking at the Marantz as well. Any price deal information would be appreciated.

    consider yourself in! As soon as I get the price I will let you know, hopefully it will be a good number!

    I was just looking at that, and it looks pretty sweet except for the price...

    I'd get the umc since you have amps already, they will have a new board upgrade for I think 200? That will utilize 3d sometime after the xmc releases. Neither do 9.1, xbox or ps3 can do any network stuff I need like streaming movies and music from pc or internet apps

    You will also get the upgrade card and then you can sell the umc later and go with the xmc if you so choose. I use mine for movies, games on xbox, and music, its one sweet peice of equipment considering what they are giving it away for.

    Take a look at the emotiva forum regarding what the xmc all offers to see if you can justify 1000 over the umc

    The bug issues while still possible in some cases have largely been taken care of with fw releases

    Switching sources is a simple press of the button on the 30lb burglar stopper remote Big Smile, you can also customize via the menu which button takes which audio or video input sources, the umc is pretty friendly with quite a bit of customization

    You lost me a bit. You say it can do gaming (xbox 360)? Can it upscale to 1080p? So would the emotiva be a better choice than a denon, or marantz? would it sound better than those or would it have better video processing, room calabration ect? I can get that marantz for around $700.00.

    roaddog i think emotiva is working on a 3d upgrade for the umc1 but no network but look at the bright side you get a 40% off on the xmc1dont me wrong i have a 3d tv and i really dont use that feature on the tv but to each is own and the issue that the unit has are minor its really nothing serious that wont make you buy the umc1 i think once they fix the bugs that need to be fixed it will be one of the best buys in a long time but this me and also i was a big onkyo fan and denon fan also bit they just dont provide what emotiva give you for the buck but roaddog i can go on on why you should go with the umc1 and alot the of the people on here will till you the same

    How do you switch sources on the emotiva? I mainly use it for HT, and xbox and then music. How is the emotiva for gaming? Also what will the xmc-1 have over the umc-1?

    Neither of these do 9.1 do they?

    I am also wondering if I would be better off money spend by going seperates and just getting the emotiva since I have amps? I wonder if the internals of the emotiva would be better that one with amps built in?

    An Onkyo hooked to 83's.........I would consider a new direction whatever it is.There is a whole other world of sound out there for those fine speakers.

    Fish, Thats also what I am thinking! I know there is better sound out there that onkyo is giving me, but I need help from you guy finding the right receiver, what ever it is. Denon, marantz, emotiva, pioneer elite ect....

    hey roaddog go with the emotiva umc 1 for 500 bucks its worth every penny and more i just got mines and as soon as i got it all set-up the music sound great and the movies as well

    I thought about that but I dont believe it supports 3d or networking. I also read that they are still having some bug issues with that receiver. The price is good though!!

    I am trying to stay around the 1000.0 mark give or take. dont want used. thought about waiting for the xmc-1 but who knows when that will ship. so looking at denon, i need triggers for my amps and 3d and at least 7.1. Not sure what receiver will pair nicely with my system?

    Well my old onkyo sr-706 to a jolt of electricity in a storm we had and it wont work right. It still has power but it wont recognize the source input. So needless to say I need something new. I also need it to have 12v triggers for my emotiva amps. I am currently running 7.1. want it able to run 3d also networking would be great too. Whats the opinions on some better receivers?
