Hello everyone,


I currently have a 5.1 setup as outlined below. A few years ago, I replaced my old Yamaha receiver with a Pioneer VSX-933 after the Yamaha stopped working. While the Pioneer has performed well, I’ve always felt it doesn’t quite match the quality of my previous Yamaha model.


With Black Friday approaching, I’m considering upgrading the receiver and would appreciate any recommendations.


Current Setup:


  • Speakers: Monitor Audio Mass 5.1
  • Receiver: Pioneer VSX-933
  • TV: 65" 4K OLED (connected to Sky, PS5, and Nintendo Switch)

The room is relatively small, so high volume isn’t a priority, but I’d love to achieve clearer sound quality. My budget is around £500, though I could stretch a little further if necessary.


Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
 
At £500, you're probably looking at the entry level Denon X2800.

The Sony TA AN 1000 may drop, but I doubt it would hit £500. Even if it does I wouldn't buy one. That my current receiver and I'd swap back to my old Denon X2500 in a heartbeat.
