TheFactor Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hey Vic how do you like your Onkyo AVR has it been good to you. I've been considering one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIC Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 factor, i love my onkyo avr its pretty goood to me i was looking at the specs of your avr and its a really good avr why would you wanna upgrade unless your gonna out and buy a top of the avr from onkyo which to me is one hell of a avr. how much you wanna spend on a new avr and what did you spend on the avr you have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFactor Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 The Elite has great power/specs but power isnt a concern because im running seperate amps so my main concern is sound quality . Just for kicks I hooked up a old Yamaha avr I have it was a flagship model 15 years ago lol but I liked the sound very clean and not as bright . Pioneer AVRs have a tendency to be on the brighter side and I dont think its a good match for Klipsch imo even though it did sound good I think theres room for improvement by changing to a AVR thats not as bright . So im looking into the Marantz or Denon or possibly Onkyo but not sure were Onkyo falls on the scale of brightness if you will . Im looking to spend no more then 1000 to 1200 dollars . Not sure I could justify spending 1800 to 2000 on the flagship Onkyo TX-sr5008 . Im leaning towards a Denon 4310ci or 3311ci , Marantz sr6005 or sr5005. Possibly a Onkyo 808 .

TheFactor Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Vic who has it on sale for 1599 ? The cheepest i've found is 1799 . Although its still almost 500 dollars over my budget I might be willing to stretch a little like I did for my 7's . Im also considering a Anthem MRX there new lineup looks pretty sweet and theres a dealer near my house were I can demo one but dont know if they carry Klipsch or not to match it with .

Its one I was considering but Emo is coming out with another model and was going to wait but I sold my Elite avr so im not going to wait . I know what you mean, but I'm not holding my breath too long for the XMC! Don't get me wrong, Emo is a spectacular company, but they have not been able to hit the broad side of a barn with their new product estimated dates! Some food for thought since you are looking for something to replace your Pioneer... If Fish sees this, maybe he will chime in as well. I've had/heard several Onkyo receivers, HK receivers, Emo LMC, Emo MMC, and currently the UMC-1 on mine, and others Klipsch gear. Namely RF-7's, RF-5's, RB-81's, and KLF-20's. In my opinion, the LMC-1 was a noticiable step up in sound quality over any of the receivers. It was a bit clunky in its operation though. I've had my UMC-1 since January, and I was taken back a bit from day 1 from the noticable increase in sound quality above all of the others mentioned. The sound stage, clarity, separation, depth, and overall openess was something that you can definitely hear. My room is sub-par, but Fishs room is exceptional. Even spectacular with the UMC. It is like having your cake and eating it too, with all the added sprinkles and extra icing! I use my gear 90% for music, so that is my standpoint. By music, I mean mostly concert dvds/blurays, dvd-a, sacd, and the occassional cd. For movies, it does just as well, but in my opinion, most of the 'better' receivers can do just as well in the area of movies. Granted, Emo-Q doesn't live up to what it's supposed to do, but you won't miss it. The UMC also functions very well and can be tweaked quite a bit. Again, in my opinion, the UMC-1 is a stellar match for Klipsch gear. For $699 to your front doorstep, I fail to see how you could go wrong even giving this a shot for its 30 day free trial period. When someone mentions $1500+ for an AVR, I just cringe a little.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
