Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H
I have a 7.2 system. I drive my front speakers using pre-out to my 2 channel system amp that drives my 2 channel system speakers. I have 2 more sets of floorstanders for side and rear. 2 self powered subs. Pretty happy with the system.
Thinking of the upgrade in the subject. I'm much more well versed in 2 channel sound than AV systems and would appreciate comments.
I like the same things in theatre however, clear, accurate, and powerful, and dynamic.
For a streamer, are there better options than my LG smart TV delivered to my HT receiver via ARC? I don't see any discussion of HT specific streamers/decoders.

Get the Marantz AV10 PREPRO. Pair it with separate hifi power amps and it will start to smack all your 2 channel purist gear for music Stuffing not 2, but, 11 power amp channels in the same box as the preamp sections, DAC, streamer, DSP module (I.e. the AV receiver) was never a good idea for high fidelity |
Here we go again (don’t I remember you). You are the guy who just pushes a button and rotates a knob on the purist preamp for magic to happen...and that’s about all you can do, right? And as you keep spending 100k, 500k, etc on a featureless crap preamp, it will just keep sounding even better and better (because the power supply got better apparently!! and ya get what ya pay for!!) Anything else might just be too complicated for you. Stick with your 1 knob preamp and continue on with your purity brand, continue rotating the 1 knob well. The other is for guys with more technical prowess (not for you, of course).. Good luck. |
@soix ...This is not very bright with your tired old theory crafting nonsense. Name your glory featureless one knob preamp and brand (the more expensive the better, your main moneymaker with the magic sauce rubbed chinese caps and power supply), whatever you sell. Also, bring a blindfold with you. DSP, rsc filters, etc prepro VS straight wire w/ gain crap knob turning... We’ll see if your knob wins.

@soix , Heifers who know nothing about electronics and acoustics always run when asked to put their money where their mouth is. It ’s nothing new..Enjoy your 1 knob polished chassis preamp that the "elusive" low volume brand guy made in his garage for you to make you feel real special. He hit tolerances and hand soldered sht in his garage that SoundUnited couldn't do in their facility with SMTs apparently (NOT!!). Bye now. |
