Pioneer SC-LX56 or another new receiver

[hybridauth_Facebook_10206328267861487]

Hi everybody,

I can buy a used Pioneer SC-LX56 for 610€. Will it be a good purchase or it is best to buy a new one with the same amount of money?

Are the Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A550, Pioneer VSX-930 or Denon AVRX2200W better than the Pioneer SC-LX56? Pioneer SC-LX56 worth the extra 100/150€ over the other options?

My speakers are Q Acoustics 3020 and the subwoofer is a BK Gemini II.

Thank you in advance.

I like the higher models from Pioneer but I wouldn't spend that much money on a model which is in terms of features yesterday's news. Maybe (a big maybe!) the lx56 will sound better but that wouldn't compensate the advantges of purchasing a new machine (warranty for example)

As above. I would look at Yamaha as well.

If the Pioneer LX56 was new and you weren't interested in 4K or Atmos / DTS:X, then I would go for that.
