Would the sound quality of the 975 be comparable to my current Yamaha rx-z1?
I'm looking to replace it but do not want to spend 3k again for technology that will be obsolete in a couple years.
I also don't use nor want all the bells and whistles on modern day recievers - I only want detailed, quality, clean, and powerful sound.

I see there are a couple other options out there including the UMC-200 and the nuforce AVP-18. How do those stack up to the 975 in sound quality?

Thanks in advance!
