The LX85 is an old model now - the LX86 replaces it. This works extremely well with the LS50's. The main alternative would be the Yamaha RXA3020, which is a little warmer and laid back in comparison.

Thanks for your reply

But the lx86 is 700€ more. Is it worth the 700€ more?

Not if the LX85 is genuinely brand new and comes with its full warranty...
