    settings

    Should all be set to small. Your speakers will never reach as far down as a good sub. Have you any acoustic treatments in your room?

    Denon AVC-X4700H Speaker options - Q Acoustics 3050i Cinema Pack or Concept AV 40 Pack

    If it was me i would buy either an SVS SB1000 or SB2000, both reach down to 20hz. You could do a number of things depending on the size of the room: Buy 1 Subwoofer and upgrade the front 3 speakers (the original concept 20s and center are on offer for under £500). you really don't need...

    Denon AVC-X4700H Speaker options - Q Acoustics 3050i Cinema Pack or Concept AV 40 Pack

    The size of your room is a major factor in deciding on speakers. Floor standing speakers need a lot of space or they will overpower your room. You should probably be sitting at least 12 feet away from floor standing speakers to justify them. In terms of your 2 choices i have concept 20s and a...

    Since you have mentioned Sonos why don't you get a Sonos Arc or the new Beam and add play ones or Ikea Sonos as rears? I had the original beam and was amazed by the sound

    Advice on options for improved sound

    Why don't you keep the speakers and improve the sub with and SVS SB1000 pro or SB2000 pro? Having a Sub that reaches down to 20hz would be a massive upgrade. The sub can then pair with any future speaker upgrades.

    Denon AVR reliability

    all brands have a % of failures. I had 2 Yamahas fail on me weeks after the warranty was up. Have just replaced a Denon 2500 with a Denon 4500 and not a single problem. They do run hot but if you turn all the video processing off this is significantly reduced.

    Sony BDV-EF200

    Bought this system for my dad. Had the same issue. You need to go into the settings and turn off the HDMI control. The system wants to work off the ARC first if your tv has it. You then need to change the function on the system to Audio to hear the audio. I spent about an hour working this out...
