I've had this setup for 5-6 years. I'm buying my son and new Pan. XR55 for his birthday. He's going to use this with my old-old Bose 901's, some in wall surrounds and a Paradigm Servo 15 sub that I'm no longer using.
My question is, since I'm spending 240.00 on the XR55 which I've read many glowing reviews for this inexpensive receiver would the money be better spent upgrading my system and giving my son my 9000es and 1505. I haven't been in the receiver/separates loop lately. I have no idea if the new digital receivers have caught or surpassed my separates for a decent price. Would a 1,000.00 receiver be better then my current setup.
I'm still very happy with my current setup. 5.1 is fine, I could go 6.1. 7.1 would be a stretch with the layout and size of my 20x25 family room.
Thanks
