Suggestions for Upgrade from Denon 1909 & Definitive Speakers

[[email protected]]

Hi ,
I am currently having this setup . I am planning to change AMP and Subwoofer as the AMP is old model and Sub is having Hum noise when connected with just power outlet

Please advise the best upgrade with a budget of 1 - 1.5 Lakhs INR for Amp and Sub.

Current Setup :

Denon 1909 Amp - Seems to be working fine but I am thinking upgrading to AVR-1100w or any new models.

Definitive Speakers Pro cinema 1000 Sub - Humming Sound , Seems to be gone

Definitive Speakers 5.1 Setup - Seems to be working well


I am only planning for the new Amp and new Sub.


Advance thanks for all the Experts who is going to help me out

Best Regards,
Raj

The 1909 is a superb AVR. 1100 won't be much of an upgrade.

Appreciate any further suggestions as i have asked my Grey market guy to source the AVR and spoken with HT Store Bangalore for Sub. Having a weeks time to decide this finally.

SVS PB1000, he is quoting @ INR 43,000 and ready to take my Denon 1909 as exchange.
He is even quoting AVR-1100W @ 44,000 ( That is the reason I am going in grey market route for AVR )

The 4100W would be an upgrade. But, with that kind of a budget, why don't you look at separates? Or, get a basic AVR which has preouts and all features you want. Add power amplifiers later on.

Hi Shuv,
Can you please give your suggestion in detail with model names?

Cheers,

Hello Raj! In your shoes, I would look at say a Marantz 5009 and a three channel power amp for the LCR channels. Or L+R at the very least. It really does make a difference.

As for power amplifiers, Emotivas are quite well known. Avenue Sound, Mumbai can get those for you.

Right now, I use my stereo power amplifier to power the L+R in my setup. A beefy integrated could also be used. Let the AVR power the center and the surrounds.
