    Pioneer Lx87 and cm8, cmc & cm1 (great sound, but got a headache)

    I would describe the sound as very open. As if there was a blanket over the speakers before. Much more detail. It is very clear but not to bright and when it must go low it is there and enough to shake the sofa.

    Pioneer Lx87 and cm8, cmc & cm1 (great sound, but got a headache)

    Hello, I think that if I were in your shoes and was still not sure after listening a few days I return it. Unless there somthing very wrong with the setup maybe you don't like the sound of that device. I was in the same strugle pioneer yamaha marantz anthem ?? Finally bought the anthem...

    Receiver upgrade pioneer sc-lx87-anthem mrx710 or marantz sr7008?

    Hello, Hereby my experience with my new receiver. I was looking for an upgrade to my NAD T773. Didn’t listen to the Pioneer or Yamaha but I am convinced they would be a good upgrade also. Like to listen to music and love to watch movies. The NAD gives 140 Watt in stereo (8 ohm) and weights...

    Receiver upgrade pioneer sc-lx87-anthem mrx710 or marantz sr7008?

    Hello Rick, Yes it will be installed April 17. Not sooner unfortunately. We are getting a new couch first and maybe that would interfere with the ARC measurement. regards

    Don't know how its going to be. Just ordered it. The dealer will install it and run the ARC so just have to wait.

    Receiver upgrade pioneer sc-lx87-anthem mrx710 or marantz sr7008?

    Made the decision it will be the Anthem MRX710. Did a hearing session yesterday. To be honest didn’t listen to the other receivers. It will not sound so good at home as at the session but heard what the receiver is capable of. The setup at the dealer was in a conditioned room with a...

    I have read the march number of whathifi where the Yamaha RX-A3030 ,Pioneer sc-lx87 and the Arcam AVR450 is tested (to bad for me not the Anthem) So now I must go and listen to the Yamaha to. There is a thing I don’t understand about power -Watts. Always thought that watts isn’t the whole...

    Receiver upgrade pioneer sc-lx87-anthem mrx710 or marantz sr7008?

    You are right am going to do what i normally doesn't take my time. Liked my NAD T773 until the moment that i thought i need a new device. Already contacted a dealer who sells Anthem going to visit the store asap. But going to listen to other receivers too maybe its the best thing don't look...

    Receiver upgrade pioneer sc-lx87-anthem mrx710 or marantz sr7008?

    Thanks for the replies. Adding the Yamaha makes it more difficult to me i keep it to the Anthem or Pioneer now but thnx anyway. I must admit I am lacking the technical knowledge of most of the users here or the real audio purist way of thinking. What I like is fast and tight low and always use...

    Receiver upgrade pioneer sc-lx87-anthem mrx710 or marantz sr7008?

    Hello , Sorry to bother you again. I will refine my question. There are a lot of posts to find about the Anthem but to be honest I never heard of it before I looked at the review in WHF. Reading all the positive reviews is why I put this receiver on my short list. Eliminated the Marantz so...
