So just a little update. I ended up buying the Denon AVR-X2200W and using it for bi-amping my Q Acoustic 3050's. I think I'm at that place now where I'm quite pleased. I've got all the features that I need and the sound is warm, rythmic and controlled *dance4* Thanks for all the inputs.

Ok, I've been looking at some new AVR's instead. As it's not possible to audition these here in Denmark apparently I'll try to ask for your help here - don't know if it's possible for you to answer though. I've found a Yamaha RX-V679 and a Onkyo TX-NR646 at around 500 pounds, which is around my...

Wow, thanks for all the inputs *good* Ok so I think I'll look for a subwoofer but doesn't know a lot about it. I would automatically look for the Q Acoustics 3070s sub to match my system, but is it possible/worth looking elsewhere? Vladimir: It might be a lot of itching but I think it also...

Ok, so by "try an AV amp" you mean a better/more expensive one than my RX-V473? In the 500-800 class range? Do I understand you correctly? If there's a possiblity gaining better performance doing that, I should be able to find the money ;) Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for all your answers and advices. The percentage is about 70/30 in the favor of music. I'm not interested in surround sound at all, and find the stereo solution perfect for my needs - I can't stand the audio from TV speakers of course though! I can't seem to figure out a...

Thanks for the answers. Ok, so it seems I'll still need an AV-receiver in my setup.. But would another option be a receiver with preout to a stereo amp? Does it work that way? Or should I simply buy another AV-receiver with more music capabilities - do you have any recommendations?

Hi. I'm not sure at all what to do next with my system and I really hope you guys can help me. Currently I've got Yamaha RX-V473 which inputs my TV sound, Apple TV, USB (for Spotify Connect) and my PS4. My speakers are some newly bought Q Acoustics 3050 and i seek (of course) to improve my...

Yeah, you're probably right - I didn't even think of the analogue inputs on the AVR. So now I'm down to the best Spotify Connect solution. I already own an Apple TV but I suspect using Spotify Connect is better than Airplay (that's why I connect my iPhone at the moment). The Amazon Fire TV is...

Thx for the answers. I don't think the rBlink will be an upgrade though? iPhone 5s doesn't support aptX as far as I know? But maybe you're right about the DAC included in the receiver (it's a Burr Brown) and that it would be overkill to invest in the irDAC. After buying the Q Acoustics 3050 I...

Hi. I really need some opinions. Currently i listen to music from my iPhone with Spotify Premium, connected via. USB to my Yamaha RX-V473 Receiver through to my Q Acoustics 3050 speakers. My question is whether a DAC is worth it in this setup or not? I have a look on the Arcam irDAC and would...
