Pioneer VSX LX53 vs Onkyo TX NR808 - Help Needed Please!

[admin_exported]

I cant decide between the above amplifiers. I have 2 x B&W 602's running as the front speakers with a B&W large centre speaker. I currently have 2 x small Sony rear surround speakers and an old Sony sub - both of which will be replaced shortly & a Sony 55" monolithic 3D TV.

Having read the reviews for the two amp's, I still cant decide which one to choose so would be grateful for any help.

Many thanks.

My vote would be for the Pioneer VSX LX53.....

Both won the award this year, but the Pioneer won the price category above the Onkyo.....and I think (don't quote me) I'm right in thinking that older B&W speakers work well with Pioneer receivers.......
