I had Onkyo and HK AVR85 . I thought the HK was the bomb. I ended up buying a Hafler Dh200 to power the HK front channels. Everything was ok. Then to make matters worse I bought an old Lexicon CP3 just for kicks. OMG. The difference was staggering. It brought tears to my eyes how good this thing sounded. Now keep in mind that the Lexicon did not support DD. It didn't matter. It beat out that HK by huge margins in every sense. Never even thought about a receiver again. But in the end that upgrade fever cost me about $18,000
Denon or Marantz? Home theater beginner.
Im new to home theater.
Here is what im looking at getting for speakers and want to know what would be a good receiver to get. I am 90/10 Movies to music.
Speakers:
Paradigm Monitor 9's, CC-390, (2) DSP-3100s
or
B&W 683's, HTM61, ASW610XP
Ill have a HTPC (HDMI), XBox 360 (HDMI), and Comcast HD Box (HDMI) connected to the receiver and then 1 main HDMI to the TV. Do I need upscaling? Will the output be fine for what speakers i'm getting?
I wanted to know which of these 3 would be the better way to go?
Receivers:
Marantz SR7002/SR8002
or
Denon 2310CI/3310CI
Any help is greatful!
Thanks,
Chris
