Greetings!
Ive got a Marantz SR-6010 receiver with Klipsch RP-280's, a 450 center and 2 sw-115 subs. The surrounds and backs are Mordaunt-Short Carnivals. The mains are bi-wired.
Will The A-700 amplifier (80 watts x 7 at 8 ohms, 110 watts x2 into 8ohms) outperform my receivers built in amplification?
SR-6010 amp claim is 110 watts x 7 into 8 ohms with all channels driven.
thanks very much.

I am kinda concern also I bought the MC-700 and A-700 which will replace my Denon 4520ic. Won't be here until 4/25 hoping that is comparable.

Do you have everything else 2.2 as well? If the plug the chromecast into Denon I can get 4K and if I plug it into the tv I get 4K but only 2.0 sound. |

Sound and Vision ran a test on the Denon: Seven channels driven continuously into 8-ohm loads: 0.1% distortion at 108.8 watts 1% distortion at 121.7 watts Read more at www.soundandvision.com/content/denon-avr-4520ci-av-receiver-test-bench#Xwls6DkF5bx2pFcr.99I am not sure how the A-700 will compare |

A lot of AVRs get unnecessary hate. A good few of them end up testing pretty well like you've shown. 110 watts 7 channels driven is very commendable. That said, I really wouldn't worry about the wattage difference here. The A-700 will do 80 watts all channels driven at lower distortion numbers (not saying it'll be audible). The difference between 80 watts and 110 is nothing anyway, literally like 1.5db. |

Hey beardedalbatross, I also have a Denon AVR-4520 and I am looking to swap it out with a mid-range AVR with a Emotive AMP. Either the A-5175 or the Gen 3. I don't have massive speakers to drive but I only want to buy an AMP once. My speakers are: L&R - Bowers and Wilkins 685, Center - Bowers and Wilkins HTM62. I am very tired of replacing $2,000-$3,000 receivers every time they enhance HDMI. So my plan is to get a Denon AVR-X4300H and a Emotive AMP and upgrade the AVR when necessary for $700 - $1,000. Also, my current Denon 4520 just doesn't have the oomph that my old Denon 4800 did. Not surprisingly it is also 10 pounds lighter. How does the BasX A-700 compare to the amps in your Denon AVR-4520?Dan |
