Hello Aventage owners - please bear with me while i try and explain why I'm posting this. During the big Boxing Day sales that were going on, I thought it was time to upgrade from my Yamaha HTR-6190 (I need more HDMI inputs and an upgrade to the video processor). I bought the Pioneer SC-1328K...

I have an RX-V1 that was a victim of a lightning hit. I am looking at the Yamaha 2030 or the 3030. I use a Mini-DSP to multi-amp my front main speakers. The pre-out from the RX-V1 went to the Mini-DSP and from the Mini-DSP back to the Main-In on the RX-V1 to use the front main amplifiers to...

About to replace my aging Onkyo 605 with an RX-A2030, should I be super worried about HDMI 2.0 coming out and making my AVR obsolete?

Anyone know if the A2030 or A3030 can support both bi-amping the fronts AND using front presence speakers? I have: 2 Fronts 1 Center 2 Front Presence speakers 2 Rear Surrounds 1 Sub I was excited to get the 9.2 A2030, thinking for sure it would allow me to bi-amp my fronts and still...
