Hi All,

First post here. I can't seem to get a definitive answer anywhere else, so I figured, why not go to the source.

I am currently using a Pioneer 54TX as a pre, and I'm wondering if the 970 would be considered an upgrade.

-I like the quad crossover
-I'm not too concerned with video switching, I'll use it if it works, if not it's not a big loss.
-I would only need 3 optical inputs

-I do like the MCACC on the Pioneer
-I do like the auto setup on the Pioneer, but I think I can work a tape measure to figure out distance.

I don't really care about DSP's, but I am about 95% HT.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Brian
