CECAA850 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Best for what? If it's the best sound you're looking for, then it's the one that sounds best to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyKlipschFan Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Your all wrong. You need the latest magazine full of graphs, and charts, and a big blind study test, and of course several ads in the magazine about it, too, complete with a price tag about that of a good luxury car! That's your choice! [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Are you putting any lotion on that Red Spot of yours? It looks like it's starting to swell. Nice animated image, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatchef Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 I guess my questions should have been 1- which has less distortion and 2- although the denon has more power than the hk by the #s does it "realy" have more. Also the hk in stereo jumps from 45-55 wpc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 john curl "You people worry too much about superficial things." "Listening is more important than measuring." "Absolute THD is not very important to me, (because) it is usually below what most references would consider audible." "I would prefer a transformer to an IC chip. I once designed out (removed from the design) the best IC chip that I could find.... when it failed critical listening tests." John Curl is a very good designer, he suggests you listen to the amplifiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ69 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 John Curl is right but I always go with the pretty lights. Thanx, Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hook them both up and enjoy what each one has to offer. I have 5 different receivers and they all have their strong and weak points but I enjoy each one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatchef Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Before I bought my cornwalls I had my rc-35 checked out and it had a blown tweeter.Had it replaced and I asked (Jamison audio in Toledo) how it could happen. They said it was my receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatchef Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 I just don't want to blow out my cornwalls. I've been using the HK cuz the THD was just under the denon. In the back of my small mind I've thought maby the tweeter was defective from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have run my stuff (RF 7's) with everything from a small Sansui G5500 to an old Integra pushing 180wpc and never had anything let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatchef Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 I have edited my first post, my dennon is an avr-685. so am I safe to use either reciever w/o hurting the cornwalls? HK/avr125 or Denon avr685 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatchef Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 also just too be clear I ran my rc-35 only on the denon and it ended up w a blown tweeter. I know the denon has more power on paper but could I hurt the cornwalls( is the denon a turd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
