I too have an old Denon-1906, but strangely I used to feel that the speaker settings used to affect the preouts. Ill check it out again within a day or two. and yes even if both speakers are off the preouts work.
I cant check it on the Yamaha right now as the AVR is not with me. If I buy it I surely will do it. But I feel its logical that all the processing is done at the preout level.
BTW what AVRs have you in mind for replacement?
YEah. Even i felt the sub 80 hz freq were being cut off. On closer inspection of the drivers in motion I realized that a full signal was being sent. Since we both have AVR's from the same era / series. I feel the outcome on both would be similar.
I have not decided on the AVR as of now. But the Yamaha Aventage series or the Denon 3312.
I know it sounds stupid. But considering a Denon because of it resale value in the distant future when i want to upgrade.
But then again I am not going to be picky. Anything that has preouts . Not really bothered about the other specs, since the midrange AVR's are pretty similar across the manufacturers. I dont think I am even going to audition them. So for now Yam and Denon, I am in no tearing hurry though. waiting to see the 2012 lineup of Denon
