Need a new receiver

Reply Contact

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?

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your onkyo, that's rough! What are you looking to spend? I am seeing a UMC-1 on audiogon for 395. Unfortunately it doesn't come with the upgrade card for the xmc-1 which was a deal breaker for me.

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?

Out of curiosity, why don't you stick with Onkyo?

I can't speak on the Marantz, but Pioneer SC Elite avr's are a great match for Klipsch and have everything you are looking for. The 35-57 would do just fine. I use my SC 35 as a pre-amp for my Yamaha M 70's and could not be happier. They have the 12 volt triggers, 3D and networking option. I have a Samsung 3D 51 in hooked up to the system and the pic quality is excellent. Consider the used market for one of these to keep the price right for it to be used as a pre-amp. It will be nice to have also if you ever have trouble with one of your amps, lol. I am sure other will also suggest some other great avr's. Good luck.

I agree with Ivan. If you like the Onkyo TX-SR706 and are used to the interface and on screen menus, just buy a newer 709 or even the 809 if budget permits. You could even step it up further by checking out what is offered at accessorie4less.

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.

I suggest a SC pioneer elite also... try and get one with the ICE amps and you will NOT be dissapointed in the clarity and blackness of the signal delivery. you should be able to get into a SC37 or SC35 for well under 1k

I just took the plunge on a UMC-1. If you can wait about a week, I will tell you what I think. Our experiences should be fairly close because we have very similar setups, except my current AVR is lacking compared to yours. They have excellent customer support and a 30 day return policy so I figure why not. And the upgrade card is just the icing on the cake.

Onkyo does not have 12v triggers to turn on and off my amps. I sent them am email and they say only for zone 2.

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!!

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....
