My friend is looking for an AV amp up to £350 max. 3D is not a priority at all.
He will be using a set of B&W 602S3s as front L&R with the rest of the speakers still to be purchased. I've suggested some M1s for rears but open to any other suggestions.
I'm backing the Pio VSX920 which he can get for £329. I think the ipod functionality would be really good. Has anyone tried this? If so any user experience stories would be appreciated.
Other options would be
Denon AVR1911
Sony STRDN 1010
Yamaha AV67
He will be purchasing from RS so demo is not possible. Does anyone recommend any of the other options as opposed to the Pioneer? If so why? Has anyone tried the Pio with B&W? Any thoughts on what would be best for music would be good. He has always owned Arcam 2-channel stuff so that would give you an idea of the sound he goes for.
Thanks
