What is the best A/V Receiver out there?


Hello to all. I'm looking for a bit of advice on a great A/V receiver. I'm mainly interested in the video processing aspect. I have my sights on the Yamaha Avantage RXA 2000 and the Pioneer Elite SC-35. Has anyone had any experience with either of these?

I currently use DirectTV for HiDef viewing and I'm trying to keep the video image as close as the image I get from a direct HDMI to the LED tv I have.

Any comments or advise is greatly appreciated.

The Pioneers are Digital amps. Better off with a nice NAD. I had a Pioneer Elite (92THX) and went to the NAD T775 and it wasn't even close. The new pioneers with the digital amps sound pretty poor. Actually, they sound great but there isnt any emotional connection. You sit there listening and wonder whats missing.
