Hey all, Moving and looking to get a little bit in to home theater. I’ve been going back and forth between the Denon AVR-1700h, the Yamaha RX-v6a. Are there other options I should be looking at?

I’d like it to be able to handle whole home audio. The SiriusXM on either of those is a big selling point for my wife. From what I’ve read the Denon is the more forum recommended, mostly because of Yamaha’s poor handling of a hardware fault, but those are mostly cleared up now. I like all the features of the Denon, but the Yamaha looks better and my lazy side likes the option for wireless surround eventually.

I keep looking at higher end systems but I’d need a really good reason to jump up with the price that comes with it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I defiantly found that it added a more consistent sound, but cant say i did any kind of blind testing!
