hi everyone,
im finally about to upgrade from an old sony str-db1080 amp, which has served me really well for 8 years and was in its day a great amp when released.
ive set a budget and have shortlisted the denon avr-1610. I listen to stereo music through my b&w's in 2.1 from an ipod and marantz cd player and have a panny bd-55 bluray player into 5.1 - that's it for connections hence i decided against the denon avr-1910 as i do not need 7.1.
*Sound quality in stereo and the hidef audio is of high priority.
my question is as an upgrade path is the denon a wise match for my existing amp? and will it be significantly better? Or should i spend a bit more?
obscure i know but im sure some wise fellow of the forums will know the sony amp and be able to satisfy my curious mind before i part with the cash.
thanks for your help in advance and i look forward to your replies.
ps richer sounds lowered their price on the avr-1610 to £279 today!
