Hookem Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 I am a relative rookie in the high end sound arena but I have been lucky in recently updating the speakers in my home stereo to (2) pairs of Chorus II and an academy center speaker. The speakers are excellent but now my Denon 2801 seems to be the weak link. Is there a receiver out there in the $1000 price range that would be better for HT and music. The Denon is good for HT but not music. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensilb Posted May 10, 2001 Share Posted May 10, 2001 The Yamaha RX-V1000 is very powerful and clean both the DSP and 2 channel. Stay away from the Sony ES line...not worth the $ unless you like the sound of a hiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPahl Posted May 11, 2001 Share Posted May 11, 2001 Hookem, I too have a pair (1) of Chorus II's and an Academy center. I'm using an Onkyo DTR7 and love it. Some say the Denon line will "smooth-out" the Klipsch speakers. I don't find the Onkyo/Klipsch combo to be harsh at all. This is the third receiver from the Integra line that I have owned and I don't think I would own anything else, (within reason, of course). The performance and reliability have been outstanding. And I love the sound. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
