Hi all,
Taking first step up from stereo to multi channel.
I've been keen on 2 amps - the Sony STR DN1050 (now available for a bargain £299) or the
Denon AVR-X3100W - I specifically want an amp that offers a separate zone 2 HDMI output.
Any specific pros and cons of either of these amps over the other?
Speaker wise, either system is likely to be paired with something like monitor audio apex or Q Acoustics 7000i (it has to be a smallish discrete package).
Is there anything else I should be considering or auditioning - i've listed to the Sony Amp with Monitor Mass speaker package and was suitably impressed, however, the rep and the well know sound store said the Q Acoustics would be a much better fit but didn't have time to listen to them hooked up...
Interested in peoples thoughts and comments on which way to go.
