Hi Guys,

Last week I got my new RTi-A7 speakers which connected to my
YAMAHA RX-V565.
I would like to upgrade the receiver and to buy a new one.
Which one can best fit to the RTi-A7?

Thanks,

Shmulik.

    Sounds like the new pioneer Elite SC-57 or the SC-55 is worth looking into,check the thread regarding these it sure has sparked my intrest.

    I tend to agree with this more . At accessories4less you can check it out for Marantz or Onkyo if you want to keep it on a budget , the Pioneer the new Elite 53 is also a option but less priced than the 55 or 57 . There`s a lot of options out there .

    Are you looking for a receiver to your mainly music listening or to your normal 5.1 , 7.1 etc system ???

    Regarding the amps , after you have a receiver with pre-outs you can take a look at Emotiva , Outlaw or Parasound .

    Yeah, I would second Pioneer Elite SC models but you could fine a SC-35/37 for cheaper.

    What F1nut said. The ICE amps on the Pioneer SC units will power the RTi A7s sufficiently until you decide to get an amplifier.

    But I agree w/ the Parasound suggestion as well. They definitely mellowed out some of the brightness of my RTi A7s.

    Porter1173 just posted a thread in Electronics showing a link to Costco where they are selling the Pioneer SC-35 for $749. That would be a good match for the RTiA7's.

    Thanks guys for the suggestions.
    Do you think that Pioneer is better match to the Polk Audio RTi-A7 than the Yamaha?

    I agree with this, you might not even want a amp.

    The Pioneer should be less bright than the lower end Yamaha. If you get the SC series you will not likely need an amp. It also has better Dac's than a lower end Receiver and better overall components. Thats why I went with the SC series. I did it this way even though it cost more, because I wanted the better Receiver with the option of adding an amp if required. I don't plan on getting an amp at this point, as the Receiver is great on its own. You would likely come to the same conclusion.

    I just bought an SC-35 yesterday and like the sound better now without my Adcom, it's more than enough for my Rti8's.

    Just FYI - Newegg is having a sale this weekend on the Yamaha RX-A2000 - supposedly the new Yamahas aren't as bright as the old lower end ones. $1399 - $500 with a code (EMCYTZT665). I think this is the 2nd model from the top - all the current bells & whistles, 130wpc. And it's 35lbs which is decent heft.

    I demoed a RXA2000 yesterday when I picked up my Elite. It sounded really nice and smooth, especially for music. It was hooked up to some Paradigm studio bookshelves and wasn't bright at all.
