Looking to buy a new receiver for my Paradigm Monitor 11's. I currently have an old Denon that does not have HDMI so I would like to upgrade so I can take advantage of the new audio formats. What interested me was the Audyssey technology. The auto setup with the speakers and also the dynamic volume which would keep the volume levels the same when changing from channel to channel which would be very important to me.
When I auditioned the speakers before I bought them one place used a Denon receiver the other place used a Yamaha Receiver, the Yamaha sounded fantastic. So I was set on getting a Yamaha. The problem is they have their YAPO technology which is supposed to be very good but not sure if its as good as Audyssey and also if they even have a good Dynamic Volume Control. Was also looking at the Onkyo receivers but from what I read they have heat issues. Any input on what would be good for my needs would be appreciated. My budget is $500 to $700.
