Dear All, I would be grateful for some advice on my new proposed system that I will shortly be purchasing.
I have decided on the screen, Pioneer LX5090, and the speakers Kef 3005SE, and will be keeping my exisitng Blu-Ray Player, a Panasonic BD50. However, I am having difficulty settling on a receiver! Ideally I would like to keep with a Pioneer to take advantage of the Kuro link as the receiver will be housed in a cupboard which basically limits the choice to two options, either the LX51 or the 71.
I am trying to get demos of both receivers with the Kefs but not having much luck. Shops are either unwilling to wire up the system, or don't have the receivers in stock and will therefore not specifically order a receiver for me to demo in case I subsequently decide not to purchase and they are stuck with a receiver that has been opened and tested.
Whilst I will keep trying to find a place that will let me demo, I would be interested in people's opinions as to which receiver I should go for. I am slightly concerned that the 51 only has 3 HDMI inputs, but would the 71 be overkill for the KEFs? I am struggling to justify the additional £400 just for an extra HDMI input.
Help please!!
