Which is the better of the best Home Theater A/V Receiver (7.1 channel)?

Question

Ok I've been looking for the best receivers and found 2 that sparked my interest. But the thing is I don't know which is better. Can either one support 2 sub woofers? Which one has more power & better sound?

Answer 1

number one, in order to answer the part about supporting two woofers, i need to know what amps you're talking about.  as far as receivers are concerned i would recommend you to look into Panasonic's line of digital A/V receivers.  even though i've never personally heard any of their 7.1 receivers, i have the sa-xr55 receiver which is 6.1.  i've had it for over a year and the only complaint i have is the remote, you can't change sound setting from the remote, it needs to be done from the receiver itself.  every review i've ever found praised these little receivers (except of course rich b******s who regret their decision to spend $500 on a receiver instead of $6,000)  and i've been blown away by the sound of my receiver.

Answer 2

Future proof is the word to go by when looking at the best receivers.

sound options for example, True HD, Dolby digital+,and the most advanced of them all DTS Master Audio.

Video options for example will it upconvert all video whether it be S-video, composite, or component to 1080p hdmi for a one cable solution (hookup)  to your HDTV.

While some have 2 subwoofer outputs, it would be useless if you couldnt allow for the difference in timing with thier auto setup systems if they wernt co-located in room. meaning if subs in front and rear of room would hit at the same time but wouldnt arrive at listeners ear at same time , it would make the bass sound muddy. If co-located, (2 in front or 2 in rear) it wont matter if it has 2 outputs. Just get a y adapter.

I have the Pioneer Elite 92 TXH  It is a Beautiful machine to look at. Get Elite 94 TXH for $400.00 more to get 1 more hdmi input and some online capabilities which I didnt need.

They are basically the same machine. oh did I say how Beautiful they are. If you search for auth. dealers online you could get $300.00 price break.
