I bought a Denon 3600h last week.
Firstly i'd like to say i am surprised how thrown i've been by just how good it is in my set-up. Apart from finding the centre speaker to be a bit low (-db), everything else is great.
I have the q-acoustic concept 40 front speakers with the concept 20 as surround and 2020i as roof speakers. All wiring is good quality (£400 worth) in a 7.1.2 set up.
I have a marantz cd player and marantz pm8005 amp so all is great on the stereo front but I am also using the Marantz to power the two front speakers when listening to surround sound.
Unfortunately after several hours listening the sound drops and all i am getting is something similar to a 1940s radio station. By simply turning the amp off and on i am getting it back to normal but it has happened 3 times now in as many days!!!
I contacted richer sounds and they asked if I wanted a refund or the amp replaced, I believe i made the correct decision in choosing this amp, especially after hearing it so choose the latter!
Now here comes my issue, should i maybe take this opportunity and buy an amp that that i can connect up remotely so the marantz pm8005 turns on and off with everything else, ie. marantz sr6013 as all these remote controls are annoying me.... The denon has trigger out but the marantz only has remote in for marantz equipment, call me fickle but i'd prefer some advice on maybe using a credit balance to buy something that will hook up to the one remote control...
I don't want to get a lesser amp and just airing my thought process due to circumstances, any alternative Marantz amps as good or better than the denon ?
