8 years ago i bought a whole new setup, and have been very happy with it.
I've just replaced my TV (LG OLED B7), and have SkyQ being installed Monday. I'm looking to replace my amplifier to have something a little more modern, support new features, but i have 2 young children, and really can't play movies like i used to (and don't have the time). I was looking at something like the Denon AVR-X2400H, but figured it was worth asking the question here.
My other components are the KEF 3005SE speakers, a blue-ray player which i haven't even turned on in the last 3 years (big Plex user) and an Xbox One for occasional gaming (very occasional).
Key features i think other than 4k and ARC for me are limited. I don't intend to move past the 5.1 setup anytime soon. I'd like to have the amp have Airplay for occasional music and WiFi connectivity, but i'm guessing everything these days will have this.
It will sit in an AV Cabinet, so aesthetics not that important, and all controlled with my Harmony Elite.
If my current Yamaha DSP-AX863SE amp could manage the 4k, i probably wouldn't change it at all
Any advice much appreciated, even if just to say that the Denon is a decent option. I don't mind spending money, but don't want to spend it unnecessarily.
