I have the JBL N26 fronts and N-center. A few individuals have recommended the Dennon 1602 or 1603 based on a few factors. Would like to find out how those of you familiar with these units like them. If you have a JBL setup even better.
Factors:
Are a good match for my speakers.
The 1602 met my $400 price
Has my minimum requirement of DTS, DD5.1 and DPL II
I have already been warned about the remote being less than wonderful but I can live with that.
The 1802 is $100 more than the 1602 and it appears that the only difference between the 1602 and the 1802 is the amplifiers are 70w vs 80w? Is that the only difference?
With my current 70W/channel older Pioneer VSX-602s I get some sibilance not to mention only DPL. I assume that when I am told that the Dennon is a good match for my JBL's does that mean that the Dennon Receivers are "warm" (won't emphasize the sibilance)?
Thanks ALL!!
