Pioneer sc-lx72 or pioneer sc-lx82?......or maybe yamaha Z7?

[admin_exported]

I have just bought myself a MA radius Hd speakers and looking for a amp to go with it?what can you guys recommend?..i'm struggling to choose between Sc-lx72(GBP1300) sc-lx82(GBP1600)what i noticed there was just a slight different between 2 of them. Is it really worth it paying extra 300 pounds for the lx-82? and my last choice yamaha z7, i really didnt like the design of the amp..but would consider if it really worth the money against pioneer's. Please help.

Hi garychf

The Pioneer's are very good however i would recommend Yamaha's DSP-Z7. Imo the DSP-Z7 is the finest VFM AV amplifier on the market irrespective of price (even at an RRP of £1960). Besides which Yamaha AV amps and Monitor Audio speakers work superbly well together (time after time).

I found the Pioneer receivers to be very bright when I demoed them with the MA Radius HD speakers.

Yamahas pair very well with MA Radius HD speakers. Also look at the Yamaha RX-V3900, currently available for a bargain £999.
