Mark,Craig and Rob,thanks for your imput. I was thinking about getting a parasound amp as an initial upgrade.What are your thoughts on the parasound? Steve
Is this pairing ok? I heard the 805's at a shop that didn't sell denon,they sounded great imo. Does the denon have enough power to to take advantage of their potential? Any opinions or thoughts. Steve
steve, Maybe this will help. I just replaced a yamaha receiver that was paired with canton karat 930's (bright) speakers. I chose a denon 3802. Let me tell you that these speakers never sounded so good. They are now producing a warmer sound, which I noticed immediately. By the way, if you...
Hi, I received my 3802 from 6th. ave. yesterday ... hooked it up today. When should the dolby digital indicator or dts indicator light up? Also, I hooked up another set of speakers to the surr.back/multizone. I then selected multi on the power amp assignment set-up. When I choose 6.1 surround...
Hi, I would like to get new front speakers for my HT. I'm interested in speakers that would be excellent for listening to music primarily. I'm trying to do that balancing act between music and HT. I heard def tech power monitor 700's....which I thought were great. the salesperson where I got...
B the way, I heard Def Tech power monitor 700s...they are truley fantastic, kind of expensive though @ 1100/pair. Any speaker I get has to be laid on its side due to space constraints. Woulk that be ok with any of these speakers? Steve
Greg, I just ordered a 3802 from 6th ave. Thanks for the great price info! I would like to replace my 3 front speakers. The fellow at 6th ave. recommended paradigm monitors. I see that you have studio 60's., they wont fit into my wall unit. How about the studio 40's? Have you ever heard them...
Hi, I'm looking at the denon 3802 to replace a old receiver. I noticed that 6 ave. electronics is selling the 3801 for $300 less than the 3802. I want to drive three other locations through a speaker selector box other than my main listening/viewing room. Also, I would like to have the...
Wayne, Thanks for your reply. I'm also considering getting a adcom pre/pro/tuner plus a adcom amp 100x5 instead of either receiver. There is some kind of clearence sale on this adcom set-up now. Any thoughts? It will cost maybe $600. more. Will I be able to tell the difference while...
Thanks for your responses. I plan on using this set-up 50% for music and 50% for ht. Do you think these adcoms will sound better for music than a denon 3802? Unfortunatly I can't demo them side by side.
is adcom equipment good? Pricing is reasonable. How about quality? I can get a gtp830 pre/pro and a gfa7400 for $1500. Would this be a good way to begin with separates or should I just get a $900. receiver? Thanks for any advice.
A salesman/owner of a audio shop told me yesterday that he has not had any problems with the units he has sold. However, he has heard or various problems. I asked him if marantz nad contacted him in any way regarding handeling such issues. he said no.
Mike, I've read posts that indicate the power of the 1200 to be @ 50 watts. Not @ 80 watts as yamaha specs. Should I be concerned about that? Also,I went to a high end audio shop on long island, the salesman said they no longer carried yamaha or denon since they became mass market products...
