Hi this is my first post, and I have probably a simple question...
I am looking to upgrade my amp (Yamaha DSP AX750SE, around 6 years old), as I don't think I am getting the most from my speakers, and may appreciate some of the bells and whistles.
Set up:
- Fronts - Quad 22L2s
- Centre - Quad centre (orig)
- Rear - Quad 11Ls (orig)
- Projector - JVC
- PS3
- DVD player - 2910
My room is about 13'*12'.
I am very interested in getting the best SQ I can, and wouldn't mind something quirky, and had been eyeing up an Anthem MRX300.
However, I am also interested in bang for buck (rather than just budget), and having reviewed recent threads here the Yamaha 3067 at its current price point seems heavily favoured my many posters.
Realistically, I don't have the opportunity to audition contenders. So my questions are:
- am I likely to notice a difference in the SQ between the 750 and the 3067?
- is the 3067 overkill for my speakers and room size?
- might i be missing out on something special by ignoring the likes of Anthem, Arcam, Nad?
Whilst I would enjoy HDMI video processing, iPhone integration, and HD sound, if the overall impact on SQ won't be noticeable, I can probably put my cash in the bank for now (along with my upgraditis).
Thanks for your views on this.
