My 15 year old Onkyo TX-NR906 is getting more HDMI issues (no video/audio) recently.
I wanted to replace it with the Onkyo TX-RZ70 (2800 euro), but the price difference with the Denon AVC-4800H is getting really big with the Denon going on sale for 1500 euro at the moment.
Makes me wonder if the RZ70 is worth the jump in price.
I was thinking the Denon AVC-4800H would be a good choice using it as a pre-amp. Assuming it runs a bit cooler in pre-amp mode?
The Onkyo TX-NR906 has a multichannel input, but how does it go with the two volume controls? Which one to use?
The TX-NR906 manual states: "Input Sensitivity and Impedance 200 mV/ 47 kΩ (LINE)".
Assuming that goes for the multichannel input as well.
So, is it a good or bad idea to re-use my old Onkyo as a power amp with the Denon?
