Tempted to buy one of these Pioneer 505s for $750 even though I already have an RZ50 and too many other AVRs... lol, I probably shouldn't unless I can sell my two old Denons.

Same l don't need it but got it anyway. Im returning the 6050 i bought a few months ago and getting this. Worth it for the preouts and DIRAC alone not to mention 2 extra channels.
I have a TSR-700 NIB for my theater under construction. It was an uneducated impulse buy at Costco. Now I want 7.1*3.4. But, I want champagne on beer money. Somehow the more I learn about this stuff the more money I spend... and my theater has been slowly under construction for over a year with nearly everything I need with warranties fading away like farts in the wind.
I'd been eyeballing the A8A and was bummed I missed the $1499 refurb sale. But, as I started to settle on 9.2 w/ external amp (originally for LCR), and, learning about the benefits of Dirac Live over YPAO I ended up nearly ready to buy the refurb RZ50 for $899 from accessories4less. Then moments ago, I saw the LX505 Adorama link in this awesome discussion.
To get to 7.1*3.4 for $650 (plus a $75ish 2 channel amp) with Dirac Live and 3 year warranty, I figured I'm losing money if I don't buy it.
