No first hand experience w/any of them. The Denon's were not highly reviewed on "What Hi-Fi." They're European models, yes? One thing I will they you, it's all about "synergy." How components match up w/each other. Some sound great toegether, others not. Match a warm amp w/a warm speaker and you have too much warmth. Match a warm amp w/neutrel/lean spk. you MAY have perfection. Then what are you looking for sound wise? What spks are you using? Etc, Etc... It looks like you're looking for an int. amp. There have been a few threads lately on this subject. Sorry I couldn't help w/your direct question. Bill.
First amp.
Hi everyone!
I'm starting my adventure with high quality audio, but since i am a college student, i just don't have enough money to get a true hi-fi. I'm looking for a decent amp, but don't want to make a newbie mistake, which i would later regret :] Just a really quick question to experts: which of the following ones would you choose?
Denon PMA-700AE
Onkyo A-9155
Pioneer A-10-S
Pioneer A-20-S
Denon PMA-520AE
