Hi guys,
I've been lurking the boards for quite some time, learning a lot of things, and was hoping that someone could chime in with an opinion on my situation!.
Long story short, i recently came into possession of a $560 FS gift card and I would like to put it towards a new receiver, purchased from Future shop, if I can find an appropriate one. A couple notes: I'll be using this to drive two polk Rti10s as fronts, RTI4s as backs, Polk PSW10 sub (which i hope to upgrade in the next few months) and a CSIa4 as a center.
I will be using my system for movies and TV shows, as well as vinyl and lossless audio (probably around 70/30 split for usage between movies/music)
I've also just gotten into the world of exploring separate amplification (though I have yet to take the plunge on any equipment related to it) so I'd like a receiver with some brand of pre-outs. I've recently been looking at the amplifiers Emotiva produces and will probably be purchasing a separate amplifier through that company in the next couple months (fully expecting to get rammed on customs/duties/shipping). I was intially planning on buying the UMC-1 that Emotiva makes, but with the waiting list as long as it is and the issues buyers seem to having with that specific unit, I'm going to hold off on that.
I don't mind spending a bit of money on top of the card, probably around another 400 dollars, putting my budget around $950.
Here is a link to the first page of the line of receivers future shop offers
Note: Argggg, Can't post direct link to FS site because I am new, will try to edit soon
This is the receiver I was pretty interested in which is the Pioneer VSX-9040
Again, can't post the direct link to the site, will try to edit soon
I originally was drawn to that because reviews seemed solid, full set of 7.1 pre-outs, and analog HDMI upscaling to 1080p, but then I thought that I might never need 7.1 preouts and maybe 2 or 3 might be plenty.
Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated! (Long story short my foot!)
