Ive checked around in regards to the yamaha rxv1700 and the Pioneer Elite VSX-82TXS. I can get either one for the same price used.

Between the two, which one would you guys choose for what reasons? I know the yammy has something like 22 dsp's, but if its anything like my old pro logic receiver i usually only used one or two of them.


Not sure where you're going to get the Pioneer unit, but make sure you confirm that it has a LFE bug fixed. 82TXS (two years ago now?) definitely had a bug that could not boost LFE.
