Hi guys,
I have a mordaunt-short Avant 904i based 5.1 channel speaker package currently hooked to a Cambridge 540R AV receiver.
Although I really like the receiver, time has come to say goodbye to it as I am getting a blu-ray player next week (the PS3)..as the PS3 doesn't have multichannel analogue out, I am planning to get a receiver supporting true HD..any suggestions?
I would love to buy the cambridge 650R, very satisfied with how cambridge amps matches to my speakers, but its too damn expensive..
I am looking at the Denon 1611/1311 based on the suggestion of my dealer from whom I had bought the package originally. While auditioning originally 3 years ago I had auditioned the speakers with Onkyo and Cambridge, the Onkyo turned out to be too bright for my speakers, as the MS speakers are on the brighter side anyway...loved cambridge for their musical performance.
Any other suggestions? or is the Denon ok?
before any of you ask why I am not getting a blu-ray player with multichannel analogue out, it is because I am also an avid gamer, I own a XBOX 360 also, and after taking the juice out of that completely over the last 4 years, it is time for me to taste the PS3 exclusive titles..also PS3 supports 3D blu-ray playback now, and considering that and the gaming option, its too good an option for me at 18k, so going to stick to that..
Also my gaming+movies to music ratio will be 90:10, but it's important to me that the receiver sounds good musically, I own quite large collection of original music CDs hooked to a cambridge player, mostly listen to rock.
