AV amp recommendations
After a new AV amp to replace my Sony 930 I have heard good things about the Yammaha stuff or maybe I should go Pioneer, ease of use is important along with multiple optical inputs any suggestions ?

I recently changed my Sony 930 for a Denon AVR-2805. Probably a bit out of your budget, but the sound quality blows the Sony amp out of the water.
I've heard very good things about the Denon AVR-2105 (about 430 quid)...

Denon 2105 is £368 on kelkoo , you might pick up a 2805 with more searching about..
I love my 3300 , even though it's a few years old now.

my 940 is still going strong. have to admit i listened to a yamaha the other day and was well impressed, but again it was the flagship model and about 5 times your budget

I have a Pioneer VSX811X set up to run 7.1 and it's superb with movies, especially DTS but I do miss my old Yamaha DSP A2070 for the surround music effects. Will audition others when it comes to changing, but I feel it will probably be a switch back to Yammi, I just love classical on the "church" setting and blues in the "jazz club". I also have an audiophile stereo amp for true music listening, before anyone slates me using an AV amp for music
Don't buy on spec or reviews ! Take some discs along to a good retailer and have a proper demo. Try to audition with both DD and DTS, but also listen to some music and see what it can do with that. Like I said, my Pio is pants at surround music

Looks nice, (I still prefer the Denon though ) but I'd definitely want to hear it for myself rather than depend on magazine reviews. Might also be worth heading on over to avforums, as there is a lot of good information and reviews on there...

You really can't go too wrong with the majority of the current Denon Amps. I'd second a visit over to AV FOrums though - you're bound to find at least a few reviews of anything you're remotely interested in
