Would a p7 go with an AVP700?
I was wondering would a AVP700/ P7 option go together better than an AVP/ 1000 option?

Thanks crusty does that mean it will or not work. Read somewhere someone had tried the combination and found it great.

Why would that be a problem??? Surely it only affects the overall volume (which you would calibrate afterwards anyway).

I have used the combo a few times and it was pretty impressive, though not the same as having an AV8/AV9 in the drivers seat.

The P7 will work just fine with the AVP700 Nabs and will be audibly better than the P1000. We have seen a number of customers take this route.

Hi Nabs,
In the evoltion of my system I too have had a AVP 700 and P7 befor upgrading to the AV9.
In short the AVP700 is a bargin given its price point and wi .th the unbustable P7 ( the ONLY amplifier that I have never clipped) it can form the basis of a damm fine cinema.
Budget for some good interconnects and you will not look back.
Regards
Kishoo
