2. amps-preamps

Was my friend given misinformation.

My friend is just getting into audio for a music system. In his price rang I thought the Rogue Sphinx V3 would be a nice choice. He could also look at the Revel Concerta 2 line of speakers. Well he decided to stop by Magnolia at Best Buy.  Not a bad setup he got a Denon 3700 AVR and a pair of B&W 603's. He said the salesman told him to stay away from integrated amps as they are not anything but stripped down AVR's without the features. So I guess all us owners of 2 channel preamps and integrated have been duped. Who knew??

I think his being happy with his purchase (if he is) is not the entire enchilada.

He most likely would be happier had he taken your advice.

And as usual;

GLORY TO UKRAINE!!!!

Think you’re being generous describing a Best Buy Magnolia employee as an Audio Expert. But hopefully you were being humorous

facten did you not notice the rolling eyes at the end of my message 🙄🙄He likes the setup. But the fact that the salesman said that integrateds were nothing but stripped down AVR's wasn't correct. I guess Nelson Pass has been cheating us all these years.😲

The real shame is that he was duped into buying an AVR. These have no place in a serious audio system.

@facten Must not be much of a friend , he listened to the best buy guy and not you

I have a friend who asks my advice and then asks all our friends for advice, then doesn't listen to any of it.
