I need advice on what to get outa these 2 for my martin logans

Ml's are hard to drive so I Think my money may be wasted on the pioneer as I will need an amp later when I have the full setup

I have tubes for music so all I need is somthing for the odd bluray movie

The denon with the upa5 is around $1100 and an sc25 is around $900 new shipped with warranty

What do you guys think?

    ....and ? Run the tube amp for the front 2 and let the receiver do the rest.

    I dont know if you have tryed this but thats never going to work on a bluray as the sound panning across the front sound stage will be drasticaly off

    I had a long read on the denon 3310 thread on avs and theres so many people talking about thier problems they are experiancing with the receiver . Its frightening !!!!:eek:

    I am going to abandon the idea of a denon all together so scrap this thread guys
