Replacing Denon 1909

Currently have Denon 1909 for about 9 years now. Gonna replace it, having little issues.
My choices are:
Pioneer Elite vsx-45
Pioneer Elite vsx-90
Yamaha Rx v679
any thoughts?

Just have 5.1, have no intention of adding other speakers, let alone in my ceiling, (hence no Dolby Atmos). Do not watch Blu-Rays anymore (use Kodi for movies now). Netflix, and regular TV.....

Thanks.
 
I have a Yamaha 579 that replaced a dead Denon 1611. It's performed well with no complaints. I have similar usage with streaming plus Kodi. If I was buying now I would go with Denon or another company that offers Audysee. I could tell it did a better job over the Yamaha version.

Interesting, and I was leaning towards either the Pioneer vsx-45, or Yammy 679
 
Nothing but rave reviews for the Denon S710W.
Denon X1200W refurb is only $399.99 on amazon if you aren't afraid of a refurb (normally $599) - comes with audyssey silver.
 
From your choices the vsx90 is the most expensive and supports the next gen CODECs. If you are willing to spend that much, I recently got the Marantz NR1606 for ~$550 off Amazon. Highly recommend it It is one of the cheapest receivers I can find that supports next gen CODECs and has pre-outs for the LEFT/RIGHT and it's a slimline.

IMO it's a waste to spend lots of money on sound quality off a surround receiver. I'm not saying it's possible, it just costs too much money. With pre-outs, if you ever later want better 2 channel music, it allows you do to so.
