foxesnwolves Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi, I'm about to purchase 2x RP280's, 1x 450C, 1x 115SW and 2x RP260 (rear surround) I'm looking at this receiver https://www.amazon.com/Denon-AVRX3400H-Channel-Network-Receiver/dp/B072Z9ZGSZ/ref=dp_ob_title_ce Will this be able to drive the speakers above? Is there any forum favorite Receiver for this set up? I'm looking at most to go to maybe 7.2 or 5.2 setup in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 That receiver would be fine, but you could get it for less... $650... https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrx3400h/denon-avr-x3400h-7.2-ch-x-105-watts-networking-a/v-receiver-w/heos/1.html There's also the one year older model a step up for $700 https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrx4300h/denon-avr-x4300h-9.2-ch-x-125-watts-networking-a/v-receiver/1.html And the flagship from last year for $1200 https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrx6300h/denon-avr-x6300h-11.2-ch-x-140-watts-networking-a/v-receiver/1.html Also the 4100 for $500 https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrx4100w/denon-avr-x4100w-7.2-ch-x-125-watts-networking-a/v-receiver/1.html If you're looking at just 5.2 or 7.2, I'd recommend the 4100.

I'm looking at most to go to maybe 7.2 or 5.2 setup in the future. The 3400 is an outstanding choice. In the same $1000 price range is the Marantz SR-6011. It is a 2016-17 model and was just superseded by the 2017-18 model. It was $1400 a few months ago before the new model came out. This is one model down from the flagship model. I own the 6011 and run it mostly bi-amped in 5.1 mode. It will run Atmos in 5.2.4 (four Atmos modules) a step up from the 2 Atmos module setups. Marantz and Denon are now owned by the same company. In general the Denon is considered a little more bright, the Marantz a little more warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klippy26 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 This sounds interesting because I just bought a pair of the R26 F towers and SW12 woofer replacing a pair of Def Tech Pro 800 wall speakers. The receiver I have is an Onkyo TX NR 626 which is on the bright side to begin with and now with the Klipsch towers it sounds even brighter. I previously had a Denon but the unit was outdated in terms of Dolby. Thinking maybe I should consider selling the Onkyo and getting a Denon or Marantz receiver.
