    Denon AVR-X3700H AVR Review

    Not a problem, unless you have amps which require non standard levels of voltage.

    Denon AVR-X4700 AVR Review (Updated)

    It doesn't shut amps down, it just disconnects the signal from the pre to power section. The amps stay powered, they're just idling. Denon/Marantz models have a "pre amp mode" as I understand it on models 3600 are newer. Marantz 7005 is too old, doesn't have it

    Three for LCR would be better most demanding channels

    Emotiva MC-1 Review (Home Theater Processor)

    Pity there can't be a custom made stereo amplifier where you can switch mode , for personal opinions. With people with "golden ears" a) Great SINAD say 120db b) Poor SINAD say 65db Or a switch say every 20dB difference and see where you notice it. Same amplifier similar quality components...

    Best AV Processor under $3k? Lexicon MC-10, Anthem AVM 60, or something else?

    I've got a Lexicon MC-8 spare I found Music Surround/Music Logic very good, you can adjust the center/front speech mix, front/back panning, surround roll off etc. So much more adjustability than my Tonewinner AT300

    Denon AVR-X4700 AVR Review (Updated)

    Or buy cheaper streamer and use coaxial output. If stereo sound is important you wouldn't be considering a AVR, you'd be using a stereo integrated amp plus the eversolo analogue out.

    How to Hot Rod a Denon AVR-X3600H?

    Generally AVR's suck for hifi stereo sound. This forum is about numbers, which is fine. However a good quality stereo integrated amp will sound better than the similar priced AVR.

    New IOTAVX 17-Channel Home-Cinema AV Processor

    Don't have the income to "give things a go" Would have to get 6700/6800 to get front wide support. AV pre which meet my needs would be AVM90 (I have three subs) not spending £7000 on a av pre that is absurd.

    New IOTAVX 17-Channel Home-Cinema AV Processor

    3800 base price (not the Dirac license ontop) is same price I paid for the AT300. I didn't want a AVR, to use it as a AV pre. The 3800 wasn't out at the time I purchased the AT300- the 3600/3700 was. The Denon has the features of the AT300 which could be useful Zone 2 Phono stage Pure direct...

    New IOTAVX 17-Channel Home-Cinema AV Processor

    It's their own type, I found auto to be absolute rubbish. Best method would be to plot responses in REW and manually enter them. It's a bit of a pain. If you've ever used Yamaha manual entry PEQ its' basically the same as that. Frequency, dB reduction/boost, and Q width.

    The AT-300 offers 5 channel EQ on the sub output. yeah it's pretty similar processor My previous AV pre didn't even have HDMI - so a worthwhile update

    Tried manual I can't tell much difference it sound fine in pure mode from a cd. Here are my plots within at300. Ignore corrections as I reset auto afterwards. red is without Eq, blue is after EQ. Green is correction curve https://ibb.co/ykhr2m5 https://ibb.co/n1T14f3 https://ibb.co/gvpNGCB...

    Processor Thoughts

    Hdmi 2.1 means extra cost. Anthem avm70 2.1 etc That's why I bought tonewinner at-300. £1050 and does what I want. Would be great if it had the room EQ like Dirac or anthem ARC but at 1/4 the price it's ok for me

    Cheapest option could be emotiva mc-1 Unlikely you'll find a AV pre amp with atnos and only 5.1 Wouldn't make sense , it would to be chopped down from full on 11+ channel AV pre amp AV pre amps usually used by medium to high end users so unlikely a high end cinema would be 5.1 if the person...

    Subwoofers make all big speakers obsolete?

    In the Hifi, I have high pass function, but I can't delay the mains. Only have adjustable phase, it's not infinetly adjustable - every 15 degrees I think. Here is my MDATs . Any suggestions? Hifi https://easyupload.io/je9s4i Home cinema https://easyupload.io/m/he1cl2

    Subwoofers make all big speakers obsolete?

    For music , it should be ok. For music I find it's best if the sub is a few db lower than the mains
