Receiver Upgrade Recommendations needed

[yokahama55]

I'm more into home theatre (movies) than into listening to music. I need to upgrade my receiver to manage HDMI inputs, and decode all the current audio formats. My equipment is more than 10 years old. I'd like to sell my Rotel equipment (except for my Amplifier), and my Sony Digital processor.

i'd like to spend between $1000-$1500 for a new Receiver. Any suggestions?

What are you looking to achieve with it? What features are most important to you? Plenty of good options in that price range.

Hi yokahama55. Welcome to The Guide. :welcome:

Are you open to used equipment? Say, from audiogon possibly? That will put a lot more options at your disposal.

Thanks, guys. I landed up buying a Pioneer Elite VX-30, and keeping my Rotel amp. It has all the latest audio format support, and I'm pretty happy with it so far.

In the future, I would be open to used equipment. My used equipment is in excellent condition, and I hope to find a buyer shortly.

Congrats on the VX-30! I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed my Elite products - my HDTV and BD player.
