Warm sounding amp to a mixer
When I had my B&K EX4420, I did think it was slightly on the warmish side of neutral.  Adding the PT-3II, it became even warmer.Bill 
Any experience with Yamaha CD-S700 ?
I can't say specifically about the CD-S700 since I have never heard one, but the reviews I have read are pretty favorable.  I do have the bigger brother Yamaha CD-S1000 and it is one impressive piece, both physically and musically.  Build quality ...

First, the Denon 4520CI is still considered a force to be reckoned with in the AVR department.  Modern enough(no Atmos, etc.) with top grade room correction MultEQ XT32 and a more than adequate amp section under most conditions.  If it were me, I ...
