   Yamaha is SO much better quality than a lot of the (other) crap out there   
   these days.   
      
   I do authorized service for Sony, Pioneer, Denon, Marantz, and Samsung.   
      
   I'd pick Yamaha any day. Not sure about the OP's requirements however. His   
   needs are pretty specialized.   
   He may need some external processing units no matter what he chooses to   
   replace his old unit.
