Ceptorman Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I bought the X1600h to hold me over while I save, research, and plan to get a higher end AVR, or separates. It was only $400. But I'm so impressed with it, I'll probably just stick with it. It's a spectacular amp for the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not need preout for an external amp as not alot of watts needed per size of your room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to build a 7.2 HT (both for movies and music), that's my long term plan because I cant afford buying all the equipment at once. My room is 4m x 4m x 4m (height). I know it's a small room, I use it only for a HT and a small home gym and I guess I could fill it with smaller/less expensive speakers, but who doesn't love some extra headroom to blast music/action movies. I want to start with the Left and Right Channel and of course the AVR and I need some opinions, since I don't have the proper experience. Since it's Black Friday period, some stores in my country got great (I guess) prices on Klipsch Tower Speakers. - R-620F from 800euros down to 550euros. - R-820F from 1000euros down to 650euros. It's +100euros for 1point of sensitivity, better low ends, more power, bigger size.. As for the AVR's I've seen. - Denon X1600H at 450euros. - Denon X2600H at 600euros. It's +150euros for a few more watts, some upscaling as I've read, is it worth it? Or do I need to get a bigger AVR watt-wise for more power in the long run, when I complete my 7channel setup? My wallet could go for the expensive options of those two cases I've mentioned, but is it worth it? The wallet wouldn't do it thaaat happily but I wouldn't want to feel the need of an upgrade in 2 years etc. Also, I'd love it if you have some other idea for speakers &/or AVR's. Thanks for reading this. Review for others... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 7.2 came along as you know versus 7.1... stereo subs is my understanding. At least, he may have good return policy, just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that AVR's count the 2 subs, as 1 channel They count them as 1 channel. A Y splitter can be used on a 7.1 AVR to be able to run 2 subs. Both subs will be playing the same notes. On a 7.2 AVR, it takes the bass channel and splits it into 2 channel sub notes liken to stereo. For your room, as mentioned, 1 sub could do well for you down the road. If wanting 2 subs in future you have options. Either go with the 7.1 Denon 1600 that a member likes. Or go with a 7.2 Onkyo, as an example mentioned. Hope this helps. Am I correct guys? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 8ohm speakers, so most of those avrs listed would work. I always liked Yamaha myself, this is the first Denon amp I've owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
