Denon AVR-X4700H & Vandersteen 2Ce Signature III.


I am currently running two separate Audio/Video systems.  I have a dedicated music system that is based with an Ayre integrated amplifier to Vandersteen 2Ce Signature III's..  I also have a dedicated home theater system anchored with a Denon AVR X4700H with a variation of Bose speakers.  It sounds just ok and I am always looking to get better sound.  As most audiophiles, I am always wondering what can I improve!  I also wonder if I can eliminate the Ayre Integrated amp and drive the Vandy's with the Denon for Home Theater and stereo music?  My sources for music include an Ayre CD transport, Oppo Blue Ray/SACD player, Sony 4K/SACD player, Pro-Ject Turntable for Vinyl as well as a Fiio Digital Audio Player. Will the Denon drive all of this with satisfactory results for audio and Home Theater?  .

Have you considered finding better sounding small speakers that pass the WAF to replace the Bose? If they must stay, and assuming they have internal crossovers and wiring, you might consider upgrading any junk crossover parts and wire with better grade components.

On your main system, have you ever considered adding a tube amp for the Vandersteens?
