New AV Receiver

29-05-2019 4:01pmHi Chaps,
Been a while. So am after a new AV receiver to replace my trusty AVR4520. I took delivery of a new telly recently and have run into some HDMI challenges.... progress they call it! Telly is the Sony AF8.
So my main issue is one of HDMI bandwidth - I have an Apple TV 4K and the only full bandwidth port on the telly is ARC - as in can take the full 4K HDR and Dolby Vision signal from the ATV. However, the ARC port is necessary for the 4520. The 4520 will only pass through a 1080p signal to the telly.
So, can you recommend a new gen receiver that will hook in my ATV and display all the latest visual wonders on my new telly. It should be of a similar quality in audio and amplification terms to that of the 4520!
Also, do you have pricing on the Sony 4K 800x2 BDP? Need one of those also!
Thanks chaps. V.1

Thanks for coming back to us.
You could have a look over the following amps:
Denon AVRX4500 coming in at £949
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203539-denon-avrx4500h-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
Also the Denon AVRX3500 priced at £549.00
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203538-denon-avrx3500h-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
Yamaha also have some nice products, the RXA880 priced up at £799
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203527-yamaha-rxa880-black-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
It really comes down to which price point you want to go in at.
There are also the following which are fantastic receivers but might not just be as powerful as the one you currently have even though they would be much higher spec.
Yamaha RXA660 priced at £499
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203497-yamaha-rxa680-black-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
Sony STRDN1080 priced up at £429
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-202643-sony-strdn1080-black-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
The Sony UBPX800M2 has not arrived into stock with ourselves just yet but think it will be priced at around £349.00
It's still listed as a pre order so perhaps it hasn't been released at the moment.
Let me know if any of the above might suit.0 -

How about the following:
Denon AVCX6500 coming in at £1699.00. This would currently be the best price on this one.
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203589-denon-avcx6500h-black-atmos-av-amplifier.aspx
To go up to the AVCX8500 you are looking at £3299 - I could offer one of these at £3000
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203570-denon-avcx8500-black-atmos-av-amplifier.aspx
If you moved to Yamaha there is the RXA2080 priced at £1499. I could offer one of these at £1399
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203566-yamaha-rxa2080-black-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
Or its bigger brother the RXA3080 coming in at £1999. I could do a deal on this at £1850
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-203583-yamaha-rxa3080-black-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
Pioneer also have the SC-LX901 retailing at £1899. Could squeeze this down to £1865
https://www.richersounds.ie/p-202268-pioneer-sclx901-black-atmos-av-receiver.aspx
Lastly there is the Arcam AVR390 priced at £1999. I oculd offer one of these for £1799

The only amp I have in stock at the moment is the SR8012 in silver which is £1999. I can certainly see if I can source a 7013 for you and get a price!
Let me know what you think.
