Hi
I'm looking to replace my Sony STR-DA1000ES to get the best out of my new speakers, as I've been advised I'm not getting true HD audio from it. I recently upgraded to 4 Monitor Audio R90HD's as front and back surrounds with a R225HD as centre. I also have a BK XLS200 sub. I will be using my PS3 slim as my blu ray player.
I've seen a Marantz NR 1501 and an Onkyo TX-SR508 for roughly the same price (Onkyo £10 more) and can't decide which to get. I'm looking for advice on which one would be best for my set up.
I'm not overly worried about 3D technology as my other half would go spare if I suggest replacing my Sony KDL40W2000 she got me for my 40th 3 years ago.
All suggestions most welcome.
