Looking at upgrading my Onkyo system.
Like to know what are the main differences between: AV reciever AV Network receiver? AVNR is basically an AVR plus network capability? Sound and video from AVNR better than AVR? Thanks. |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 22 2015, 02:17 PM) Yes AV network receiver is just plus network. Nothing better for sound or picture Thanks. Then quite surprising at the higher cost just for the extra network features (looking at Onkyo's systems). |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 22 2015, 03:20 PM) Well network feature can be many gizmo and stuffs. Depend on what you looking for. Onkyo is not the best in picture quality of AVR Thanks.Can you recommend one that is best 2 of the mid range? Main uses: * video * music ( all except rock) * ? Cheerio. |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 22 2015, 03:37 PM) For video, I will recommend Yamaha AVR the advent age series. Seriously any AVR for music is a no go Thank you very much.Thought some AVR is also excellent for music. Which system will you recommend for music? Amplifier only? Just to help me out, comparing 2 very good systems (AVR and XYZ system for music), on a scale of 0-10, are we looking at difference of 0.5 or 1 point? I know different ears different scores. But on average? Many thanks. You open a new chapter for me to find out! Ha. |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 22 2015, 03:53 PM) Well AVR is not meant for music. Is good to have an integrated amp for music. If you want to put into point different from 0-10, I will put about 7. Thanks.You mean you feel a difference of 7 points for AVR and IA system for music quality? Then definitely a difference. Will explore this at the shops/studios. Cheerio. P/S your recommendation for 2 best mid-range sound systems? |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 22 2015, 07:54 PM) Yes that is right. Is a lot of different. For AVR you can go for like A850. For int amp you can try out marantz Noted and many thanks. |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 22 2015, 08:59 PM) Happy hunting Did some hunting on the web.The A850 is for audio and video. So for watching movie, use that? For music, use only IA? I guess it is possible to have separate dedicated video and audio systems (instead of AVR) to watch video concerts? I guess costs here will be very high. Cheerio. |

QUOTE(bad2928 @ Nov 23 2015, 11:56 AM) best bet if you wanna have all in 1 system is get high end/flagship AVR,example marantz 70xx,pioneer LX8x,yamaha a30xx or denon x62/x72 QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 23 2015, 03:25 PM) Well the A850 is an AVR so definitely anything with video including concert is ok. Of course for pure music only is to use IA. Yup this is definitely costly but is the way to go or just get the AVR and uses it for both, just have to sacrifice the music with this. I own the A3050, although the dac inside can even support DSD but the sound is total rubbish when playback just music. QUOTE(ktek @ Nov 23 2015, 05:39 PM) i would say, see the codec needed. dolby, dts surround must decode by avr. Thanks.music disc (no video & codec) just need rca output to integrated amp. My plan is as follows. I bought an entry Onkyo AVR some 10 years ago. Was planning to get a mid range system for movies and music. Plan is to get the higher end AVR, not the latest model, maybe one or two models before the latest. Cheaper mah. Quality and technology will still be better than the latest mid range AVR. Correct? Cheerio. |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 23 2015, 09:15 PM) Depend on what you want ? If you don't need atmos, than can get older model to save some cost OK. Now is for myself to go out and try the diff systems and see, and adjust to my budget. Ha. |

Hope that this is the right place for me to ask here.
Looking ahead for my next home system upgrade, undecided on TV (4K) or projector. Appreciate feedback from sifus and existing users here on the good and bad of both systems. Thanks. |
