Best value AV AMP for AE Aegis Neo 5.1 Speakers?

[admin_exported]

As previously stated here, I've bought the AE Aegis Neo 5.1 system for my cinema room (at a quite ridiculously cheap price direct from AE's eBay store)

Now, I need a suitable AV amp to go with them 🙂 and I am considering the following ( I can get them at these prices at Richer Sounds)

Sony STR-DG820 £230

Yamaha DSP-AX763 £290

The questions are, Is the Sony good enough for the speakers? Is the Yamaha £60 better then the Sony? Should I be spending more money on the Amp, to work with my speakers?

I personally would be spending a lot more to get the best out of the AE's. You know it makes sense!

Well, The AE's only cost me £499, so I wasnt really planning to spend a "lot more" (what would that be in actual pounds then? 🙂 )

What would you think would be a suitable model for the AE's?

Anyone have suggestions as to what to drive these speakers?

Anyone already got a set?
