A/V Receiver recommendations.

[philip_cooke]

Folks, after a recent power cut at home, my old faithful Yamaha RX-V470 died a death. My insurance company are in the process of replacing it and have given me a few options, basically another Yamaha unit, the RV-V559DAB, or a Denon unit, the AVR-1907

Does anyone have any advice for which is the better unit and reasons why? I realise one is a 6.1 and one is a 7.1 but as I only have fronts, centre and a sub I'm guessing I won't get any benefit. Any advice gratefully received.
