Buy the best floor-standers you can afford and keep the Denon. Later add a good stereo amp and use the Denon as a preamp. No need to junk it!
Diminishing returns?
I have a Denon X3700, which I bought primarily for it being within my budget, and capable of handling 8k and HDMI 2.1. I’m currently in the market for floor standing speakers that will serve a dual purpose as both 2ch audio, and the L/R in a 5.1.
I would imagine at some point, the limitations of the receiver will outweigh the benefits of purchasing higher-end speakers? In essence I would lack the equipment necessary to truly bring out the best in the speakers. Is this an incorrect assumption? Assuming I don’t plan on using anything besides the aforementioned Denon, at what price point would investing in more expensive speakers be pointless?
