Your speakers will not sing with a Denon. You should be looking for a low-impedance higher-power amp and preamp, such as a Odyssey Stratos, McCormack or similar.
Upgrade question
I purchased a Denon 3803 to use in HT. I initially set it up in two channel and immediately realized how much I enjoyed two channel. I have delayed HT and am concentrating on two channel. Being a newbie with a very modest system, I would like to solicit advice on where / how to start on the upgrade path. My system:
Denon 3803
Rotel 1072
Green Mountain Europhas
I suspect the place to start is to replace the Denon. I've considered both an integrated and pre / power amps. I don't have a defined budget, but I don't think I could afford to purchase the pre and power amps at the same time. Should I consider a power amp initially to use in conjuction with the Denon? Should I consider an intergrated?
I enjoy most types of types of music, but slanted to blues, rock, and jazz vocals.
I live in a small market (East Tenn.) where access to equipment is limited, so I welcome all recommendations.
