Newbe Help what AV amp


Hi, almost picked up ATC SCM40s for my front 2 channel , my source is a Denon 4010UD bluray player, I tried the ATC SIA 2-150 amp.
The sound was fantastic with CDs playing direct mode but the minute I tried a Concert DVD or a concert Bluray the sound was awful..
Is it a problem with the connection or do I need a AV Amp.
Anyone tried Primares with. ATCs or should i stick to ATC amps?
thks

A Concert DVD should work just fine provided you select Stereo!

Sound quality of live concerts is often not up to par though.

If you want to play 5.1 through a stereo then I am afraid you need to "downmix" which might or might not be an option on your Blu-ray player.

If you play 5.1 through the stereo with just L and R channel outputs connected to your stereo amp then you will be missing much of the vocals (center channel) and the bass (0.1 subwoofer channel)
