Did I make a good choice/improvement? (1 Viewer)

Wanted to upgrade to a mid level receiver.
So I just bought a new Denon 4520ci and i was wondering if I made a good choice. It will be powering: Klipsch

Rf-82ii
rc-62ii
rb-61ii
Svs pb-1000

Wanted the option to up 7.1 in the future. And btw my current avr is Sony dh550


Thanks,

I was also wondering if I will hear a noticeable improvement? From my Sony.

Is the 7.1 capability the primary reason you upgraded? Do you plan to utilize any of the multi-zone capabilities of the Denon? While I'm generally not a fan of Sony products, the 550 is not really what I would consider to be "outdated" in any way.


As for sound, those Klipsch speakers are so sensitive, you aren't likely to hear any difference with the new receiver - you probably reach painful SPL levels on just a few watts (like 4 or 6) per channel.


I would not consider the Denon to be "mid-level", personally. IMO, that's an upper tier model that has a feature set that many people aren't likely to use, but those that DO need the extensive multi-zone capabilities will probably find that there's little it can't do.


Everyone has different needs, so if this receiver meets yours, then it's a good choice. What were some of the other models you considered, and why did you choose this Denon over them? I'd be curious to know.

I hooked up my friends x4100w and loved it compared to my sony. In 2ch mode my fronts had a lot more mid and low bass.Better dynamics. I also think xt32 was way better than sonys room correction. Spotify connect,my sub also sound way better with it.

I just couldn't afford $1500 for the x4100w. I paid $1000 4520. I'll be happy if it sounds as good.
