Hi guys,

I'm planning to get my first AV receiver to match the Nbien NX-6. Can any of you suggest which of the below amp is a better match?

-Denon AVR2311ENS.

-Onkyo TX-NR708.

-Yamaha RX-V1067.

I'll be getting center, surround speakers and subwoofer later on, currently just thinking to hook up the receiver with the darn low sensitivity NX6... The AV shop I go recommend to go with the Onkyo, but the receiver runs quite warm after some time which I doubt how long can it last...

Hi John, thanks for your feedback, I have just gone thru WHF News section and found out Onkyo has release their new TX-NR709 receiver. I think I might go with this amp if the price doesn't increase a lot from previous TX-NR708.

What kind of sound do you prefer? That will have a huge impact on your choice. And what is your budget?

If you're worried about an AVR running hot you might want to consider Class D AVR's such as the Rotel RSX-1560 or Pioneer SC-LX83.

Don't know the speakers or these amps, but for music I'd pick the Yamaha any day.

ohh ... just get to know the Onkyo TX-NR709 is selling around USD300 more expensive than the TX-NR708 in my area... which is out of my budget already... Another of my friend just came by today and recommend me to get Denon's AVR-2310 which is around USD150 cheaper than then AVR-2311(same price with Onkyo TX-NR708) And with the Denon, I won't have to deal with the heat and cooling stuff.... But I'm wondering what's the major difference between Denon's AVR-2311 and AVR-2310, because with the savings of $150, I can use them to get a better sub. I've check Denon's site, found that both of them comes with Audyssey multieq XT and the output wattage is the same, the only thing I can figure out is the 2311 comes with HDMI 1.4a and 2310 doesn't... is that all?

Thanks.

Benny.

Hi Patrick, I prefer clear/bright sound with punchy bass, actually I have already tried Audiolab's 8200 and found that the sound was actually very good and the treble was well control which I really like that. But the only thing I was complaining at the shop was that the bass was too weak for me... and nothing can be adjust on the amp...

So the shop owner recommend me to go with multi-chanel AVR then they suggest me to go with Onkyo TX-NR708 afterwards, but they didn't have stock so no luck for me to try out...

Pioneer can be a bit bright, so if you like that sound I would definately demo a Pioneer. The VSX920 is a low-cost AVR, with the VSX1020 adding some features and a little power. Having the LX83 paired with MA RX8 fronts, I can say the low frequencies are also very present when called for.
