Surround Decorder Performance
Many have commented on the differences in surround decoding (DD, DTS, etc) between pre-amps...leaving me wondering if this may be more important than amplifier quality in terms of over all differences between receivers...
I've got Diva's 6.1's now,and Rocket 750's coming...Currently driving them with an Onkyo 575x (70wpc)
I'm getting the itch to buy a new receiver, will have to be in the low $1000 range...or I could just wait for a couple more years and go for seperates...Even then, I'd be limited to something like the Outlaw 950/770 combo, unless I win the Lottery.
My room is large 17x25x9' ceilings, opening to another 17'x20'x9' room...
Can anyone offer some insight into the decoding performance of $1000 receivers...
Decoding performance being equal, whose AMPLIFIER section seems to have the most current available for the dynamics...I rarely play REAL LOUD...but at moderate volumes, I do want the dynamics to ROCK-THE-HOUSE .
My listening habits are 80% HT 20% Music.
Thanks in advance
