Frzninvt Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Do you need one? No not really due to the efficiency of the speakers. Would adding one make your system sound even better and provide increased headroom and dynamics. Yes absolutely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjgeraci Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Just be prepared for that slippery slope. If you purchase an amp for your Reference sevens, a pre/pro upgrade cannot be far off ........... Oh, but to answer your question, yes. Especially if you want to get some real bass out of your RF-7s. Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 what is the Denon 3805, isn't it a 7.1 channel AV reciever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjgeraci Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I believe so. One of the newer 7.1 Denon models with 120 advertised watts/channel X 7. I guess the old adage does apply. If he is dissatisfied with the sound he is getting with the Denon/Reference 7 combo, then, by all means, welcome to the upgrade club. If he is satisfied, however, I would not recommend upgrading just because a number of us have gone that route. In the end, all you have to do is to satisfy your own ears. Again, its a slippery slope.... Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffinator Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Sherbourn 7/2100 - all the SS you'll ever need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRRush Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah its one of the new 7.1(been out a few months). I have the same setup and was wondering(since I've never used seperate amps) what I could expect SQ wise. Guess I have to $$ to find out. Which Amp would you recommend to improve front SS - B&K 2003 (200x3) Sunfire Grand Cinema II (225x5)? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandi Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Is it our ears we have to satisfy or just our wants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 To many, it is our ears that dictate our wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRRush Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ears4me, Big sub or big amp or let it be 3805 rocks solo? I'm not looking to dump coin on bragging rights, just want the coin to Cha-ching when its spent vs. a needle drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaaihue1 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 What do you have your crossover set with the denon??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Here's the old 'efficiency equation' from when I worked at a pa/lighting company. The boss would always make the new guys work this out to understand why we carried Industrial LaScalas for our portable disco/pa rigs. If you had a pair of LaScalas and a Crown DC300 amplifier, how many Bose 901's and amps would it take to equal the SPL? here's how to get started: The LaScalas are what, 104db with one watt input? each doubling of amplifier power increases SPL by 3 db. So the DC300 being 150 watts per channel (I'm going from memory here) gives you 2 watts=107db, 4watts=110db, and so on. Then figure the BOSE at around 86 dbSPL and you would have to carry a room full of them and a ridiculous amount of amps to equal the kick of one Klipsch stack. Work this out and enjoy! you might also substitute your favorite modern speakers into the equation, like RF7's and Bose 'lifestyle' baby cubes.

RRRush Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Now thats perspective. Well put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeCool Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I have had a Denon 3803 running my HT for some time now - however, for the Front Left and Right Speakers (La Scalas), I use a Linn MK85. Works like a charm - the La Scalas come alive, virtually. The two other discernable benefits are : 1) The Denon has plenty of power for the center and rears and 2) when I use the HT for stereo music listening, it works quite well (since the Denon is acting only as a pre-amp).
