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?  .

If you improve your room you will improve both systems. Have you acoustically measured and treated your room?

Next if you improve power you would improve both systems. Are you using an upgraded wall outlet and/or a power conditioner?

After taking care of these two I think getting the upgraded version of Audyssey ($199 at the Microsft store) and the calibrated mike for your denon would be astounding.

Finally, after doing all of the above you could look at either getting separates or new speakers.

See my virtual system for examples and before and after measurements.
