Bought my Denon 3200x from there but through amazon because there wasn't any new ones but it was faulty, front right channel was out had to send it back to amazon but customer service was great got immediate refund ordered th 3300x which newer model, brand new for 600, it was a 1000 dollar receiver but the hooked me up good because of the hassle.. never ever will buy a used shit, especially if you are investing in a new toy for long term.. just get the new one and save yourself the headache Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So here I am , a little silly boy in Christmas can wait to get his toys and finally I get my denon3200 and spend most my after noon setting everything up and figuring out all these new techniques that I had not experienced, I come to the speakers test and first one which is front right make the sound of choked speaker, there isn't and music type sound coming out but the rhythm is like what the music playing except it's chocked dotting sound just like a blown speaker, I don't know to explain this any better, any how, I switched the wires just to see if my speaker is bad but nope, speaker is fine, it was the channel was faulty, I research for hours and try to fine a way to fix it and even after so many resets for the unit, factory resets, still the same, I kept it playing just to get use to the configurations and ll that, the unit start shutting off, going on standby mode, so here I am pissed of, disappoint angry boy calling amazon..long story short, I got them to do immediate refund, free return, purchase the new model 3300 for less than $700 so another 200 on top of the bad unit but, BRAND NEW... never ever buy a used electronic never, it was my first and last time will try to save couple hundreds in such long term investment.. so since I live in Italy and mailing address is APO, I have to wait another couple weeks to get my new Denon.

Well, I ordered the Denon 3200w and can't wait to see the results, I have some plans for my theater that's why I want it as loud as I could push them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok derrickj1 in this case I'd like to drive my speaker to more than 35 watt so that means I should get an external amplifier and that's where I got lost, there is so much in to getting the right amp, and I keep reading and facing new terminology/things and going backing forth in reading and finding explanations for those.. voltage,watts, audiophile, tolerance surface mount and all that specification that I need to chose from, just don't know where to start or what to get Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Derricdj1 With that being said and after my continuous reading about avr's and speakers I came to a conclusion that any avr with 80-100 watts will do fine, I am down to choose the specifications and I think a 600-700 dollar receiver will have more than what we need for now..

I came here to post the same question however since I found your thread I'll post here and tag a line if you don't mind and actually talk about receivers. I have done tons of research so far and still hesitating to buy something then deal with the return so I'm still here, my problem is the same as yours power, I have been reading about how you have to at least meet the nominal power not the peak and since the floor ones are 150W that mean I have to get something that will provide 150 each channel but the most I have seen is around 115ish, now do we have to get an extra amplifier? Or like it was mentioned before a 100 watts will do it, keep in mind I WANT A REALLY GOOD QUALITY sound, I am not a pro no an audiophile by any mean but I do appreciate a loud and clear sound for music or movies, I don't have a set budget for a receiver but I'd like to stay below 1k, I want 7.1 set with all the wireless capabilities, and atoms is in mind but not a necessity right now but I'd like to get something with potential since I like to upgrade. One more quick question, since the R-14m power is 80watts how it's gonna stand the 100, is the system designed to distribute power differently.. This is my 1st time collecting my home theater and I am not inclined in what audio world has to offer these days.. My set up is: 2 - R-24F Reference Floorstanding Speaker 1 - R-25C Center Speaker 1 - R-110SW Powered Subwoofer 2- R-14m Thank you and again sorry for jumping on here.
