willland Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I have an opportunity to buy what seems like a very nice Denon POA-1500 amp offered on C-list. The seller wants $235.00 OBO. Any thoughts,opinions, etc. I am considering hooking it up to the stereo pre-outs from my Marantz 2252b to power my Forte's. Maybe pair it with my Luxman R-115 to drive the Forte's. What do you guys think? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't have any experience with that amp, but it sure is purty! The Price seems right. Have you listened to it? Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks for uploading a picture for me. The one I am considering is black with rosewood sides. The seller emailed me pictures that I tried to post but could not get it to work. I have not listened to it yet. The seller lives way on the other side of Orlando about 40 miles away. If he still has not sold it by Saturday I hope to be able to take a look and listen. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 More like this one.......... I think I like the Champagne one better, but this one looks good too! As I said before, the price seems right, if it works fine. At 150wpc it should do what you need it to do. Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte2me Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Denon amps are top notch in build quality and sound, and will drive your Fortes nicely. I have run Denon equipment with my Forte lls for over 15 years and am very happy with the result. My POA 2400 has a little more power than the POA 1500 you are looking at, but the 1500 has those awesome meters on the front which are unbelievably cool to watch as they bounce back and forth. My brother almost bought one of those a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 but the 1500 has those awesome meters on the front which are unbelievably cool to watch as they bounce back and forth. You could save a few bucks and get one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
