GD DAY ALL MY FIRST TIME IN A FORUM, I HOPE I LL TREAT IT WELL! I AM ABOUT TO BUY A PIONEER VSX-521 (EURO 240)TO GO WITH BOSTON ACOUSTICS CS226 (EURO 220) LOUDSPEAKERS AND AN LG BD 650 SOURCE(EURO 80). ANY IDEA IF THAT WOULD BE A DECENT START AND IF ALL THOSE TOGETHER COULD MATCH CORRECTLY FOR A NICE SOUND HOME AUDIO SYSTEM?? KINDLY FEEL FREE TO PROPOSE ALTER DEVICES (BUT LET KEEP THE BUDGET IN SIMILAR LEVELS!!
Why not step up to slightly higher quality gear? What's your budget? If you aren't in need of the tuner to listen to radio stations - and who is today with most stations broadcasting a cleaner signal over the internet?, you shouldn't buy a receiver. A higher quality integrated amplifier would forgo the tuner for better sound overall. Check audioadvisor.com
