Onkyo 606 and Kef 2005.3 Upgrade

[LEET1973]

Hi All

The audio side of my home cinema system is an Onkyo 606 combined with Kef 2005.3 speakers.

I'm thinking about upgrading the amp as i still love the convenience and low visual impact of the Kefs.

I've obviously done a bit of research and been reading a lot of good things about the new Yamaha 673, but i would like to get some opinions from the experts on if this would be a good upgrade for me.

I've seen the amp for £399 on line which sounds a good deal given the reviews.

Thanks in advance

Lee.

While I think the Yamaha is a better amplifier than the Onkyo you have, it's a sideways move unless you need some specific feature it has.

Thanks for the reply.

I've had the amp for 4years and just thought technology must have moved on a bit since.

I also quite like the idea of being able to control all my av gear with my iPad.

Another question then:

If the yamaha would be a sideways step, what would be a forward step?
