You really do not have to worry about ported speakers as many are now designed that way. Because a audiophile doesn’t like them doesn’t mean they aren’t any good. Use your own ears to listen. It does not matter what any of us think, it’s your system and your hearing.
Denon 6500 - Am I crazy?
**I know everything is subjective and it all comes down to what I think sounds 'good', but I figured there are some valued opinions here I would love to hear.
Amateur here and first-timer to the forums, but wanting to learn more. If I land on B&W 704 S2s like I'm eyeing AND I want to leave the door open for creating a Surround/Theater experience for when I watch movies am I being crazy going for something like the AVC-X6500H (140W when driving 2ch @ 8 ohms)?
I see thousands of 2-channel amps (and I have a decent one that I ordered but hasn't arrived) that people use. Is that because they are MARKEDLY superior to a multi-channel amp like this one or is because they have no desire for surround and they just pick up a nice 2-ch amp?
I ask because I'm building a theater room for my basement and I want to be able to drive my 704s (not bought yet) but if I'm selling myself extremely short by buying this amp I want to know.
