Hello
I'm looking for views/opinions. For context: I'm upgrading my AV system, going from an old Denon 1900 receiver and KEF 5.1 'egg' surround package. My biggest interest is movies, 4K, & Dolby Atmos. I have a budget of around £4K and plan to spend half on receiver/speakers and the other half on an OLED TV + BR player. For now, I will use four of my existing 'egg' speakers with a new 5.1 speaker package for the rear and height speakers in a 7.2.2 setup. I already have decent cables.
I'm presently deciding between the following two packages:
* Denon AVC-X3600H + Q Acoustics 3050i 5.1 (£1619 @ Richer Sounds - Denon AVRX3600H & Q Acoustics 3050i 5.1 (Black))
* Denon AVC-X3700H + Q Acoustics 3050i 5.1 (£1949 @ Richer Sounds - Denon AVC-X3700H, Q Acoustics Q3050i, Q3010i, Q3090Ci & 3060S (Black))
The question I'm asking myself is this: is the extra cost really worth it to get the Denon X3700H? For what I understand the extra money buys 8K video functionality but little or no sonic advantage. Views/opinions appreciated. Furthermore, for my budget, if anyone has any alternative suggestions then that would also be appreciated.
Thank you!
