Has anybody here had any experience with this receiver?
I have listened to it several times, and enjoy the sound. The only problem that I noticed, and have read about in several places, is the audio "drop out" issue. Basically when you change audio sources, like on a DVD, the audio will play for a second, then stop, for a second or two, then start playing again without a problem for the entirety of the movie.
Also, will this receiver have any issues with driving 6 ohm loads, particuarly with the QS8's and the VP150? Basically my system will include the previous mentioned speakers, along with the M22's and a yet to be determined sub.
Apart from that, what other viable options are there in the sub $1000 range? The Pioneer Elite 53TX look sto be a very nice receiver as well, but I haven't had the opportunity to listen to it. Other options that I have seen are the Denon 3803, a Yamaha model, and the H/K 7200.
Thanks!
