Which AV or Separate For CM9 + CMC2+ CM8 + CM1/DS3

[admin_exported]

Hi,

I have CM9, CM8, CMC2 in 5.1 setup and looking to add CM1 or DS3 to make it 7.1.

My setup is in through reception room.

I have ESPON 6000 projector and 46inch TV.

I am 70% movie and 30% music user.

No plan to upgrade my speakers for next 3-4 years.

I recently sold my Denon AVR3312 and looking to buy either a new high end AV or seperate.

Do I need seperate? if yes I am looking either for Onkyo or Martanz ( denon and arcam are out of budget).

If I need to choose an AV what is recommended one. I narrow down my list to Pioneer LX85,LX85 , Denon4520. Anthem is still in consideration but two issues with Anthem MRX700 are no dual video output and no standby passthrough.

Please help to decide, also let me know if you guys know any deal going on for any of above receivers.

not sure about the models you stated, but i heard the CM9 Theatre with the Yamaha 3010, i was impressed. Then i heard Rotel RMB 1575 and the RSP 1572, it was awesome for music and films. thats what im saving up for.
