Hi all. Could anyone give me a bit of advice re my setup please?
It's currently
Canton CD100 x4,
Canton CD50 x1
Canton 25 SC
Sony STR DN1040
I have had the speakers for a long time. I appreciate they may emphasise "style" (i.e. are acceptable to those who might otherwise have blocked a 5.1 system!), but to my ears they sound ok.
I do wonder though whether things have improved in the years since I bought them. That said they are "acceptable" to the other half, so it's a conundrum.
My history with receivers is a Denon 2105 (which failed after several years) and the Sony. I have to say that to my ears the sound on the Sony was much better than the Denon. I do wonder if that is inherent to the Sony/Denon brands or if it was just that the Sony was newer. I will of course listen to both in a shop before I buy, but am interested in others opinions.
The options as I see them for me are
Sony STR DN1080 (like for like replacement, though I will miss the HDMI on the front)(
Denon 2400 or 3400
My real question is trying to balance with the speakers. I appreciate they are old and obscure, but does anyone know if they "match" the amps. i.e. are they not good enough for them?
The real reason for the upgrade is that my current Amp doesn't pass through 4k .
TV is a Panasonic OLED 952 if that is relevant for handshake problems.
Any opinions would be welcome.
