Hi Everyone,
We recently purchased a home that included a rather dated but what I believe to be very high end home theatre setup. It includes a Linn Kisto Receiver (looks to be about 15 years old), 4 Linn AV 5125 Amps (2 fronts are triamped, C is biampted, rest single amped) in a 7.1 setup.
The issue we are running into is that Linn Kisto Receiver is breaking (front display is non responsive and lacks the connectivity and features we want (HDMI, HDR, 4K etc) so I'm looking to replace it. That being said, from what I can tell, we've inherited some pretty high end hardware and I'd like to get the most I can out of this home theatre setup. That's where I'm hoping you guys can help.
I am currently looking at the Denon 3700h, the 4700h and the 6700h (based on my research here) as well as the marantz 6015 (although my research seems to suggest I should go Denon). My question for you guys is:
1. Given that my speakers are triamped, are there any additional considerations I should be taking into account aside from the number of preouts?
2. Given that all of my speakers are amped, will I notice any real difference between the 3700h and the 6700h?
3. Does anyone have any other comments or recommendations? I'm rather open minded and I'd love your input to get the most out of this setup.
Thank you all in advance for your time!
