Thank you once again Michael. I will get a spl meter ordered. I see there are spl meter apps for phones are these any good or should I just buy a proper meter?

Classact - I think in an ideal world every setup would EQ the sub. To me it seems strange that this is not the case but then again I am a total beginner. Is EQing a sub correctly hard to do? The anthem range seem to be getting rave reviews allround but they also seem to hold their price really...

Thats good to hear that I am not tied to Audissey, the sale person I spoke to was very pushy of Audissey and dismissed other platforms out of hand. He mentioned how it was the only platform to EQ the sub etc. I guess as a total begineer it made it more likely that I would have a better sounding...

Does anyone have any opinons on the Denon X4000 to be paired with my MA Apex? My other choices are spending a bit more on a Denon X4100W or a Pioneer SC-LX76 from germany. There is also an option of a pioneer lx57 although I am concerned that the pioneers might have a few issues from what I have...

Anyone?

Fantastic advice Michael and thank you. I have only tried a few scenes on a film I watched earlier but I can definetley hear a difference. Is there any draw backs to using this feature?

I will give the X-Curve a try, I have seen it in the setup menu but never played around with it. Thank you for pointing it out, I am in truth a total beginner when it comes to setting up av receivers and reallly only know the very basics.

I do find my pioneer a bit bright and at times thin with certain material. This is one aspect I would like to improve upon with my next receiver. I like the detail I get from my pioneer but would like a bit more body (If that is the right term).

I was wondering if this would be the case, thanks for confirming. I have been told by a few retailers I should be looking at buying receivers with a retail price of £1,000 and upwards. Does this sound correct?

Thank you Simon. I have been looking at the Denon x4100, seems a nice bit of kit and there are a few deals about. I would happily spend aropund £500-600 as this is mearly a stop gap and there seems to be a few recievers which were released at over £1,000 for this sort of money. Any other deals...

No real preference to pioneer and unfortunetly the lx58 is out of budget, as I mentioned funds are low.

Hi first time poster. I am toying with the idea of upgrading my current receiver due to getting new speakers, I currently have a Pioneer VSX AX4ASI which has served me well (spec sheet here:) http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/archive/VSX-AX4ASi-S/page.html Funds are low and from what I have...
