    Denon dm39 cd/receiver

    I'm fairly new to audio - still learning. Are you saying I could connect the dm39 to a decent amplifier to further boost the quality? One thing I can't understand is the dm39 doesn't allow you to set the speakers large or small so does it automatically detect if the speakers are large or small...

    Denon dm39 cd/receiver

    Today I received another Wharefdale 150 and set it up as the manufacturer advised. That is the two in front of the seated position and next to the speakers. I know that they can go into corners, opposite walls and wherever they might sound better but for practical purposes - room restrictions -...

    Denon dm39 cd/receiver

    Basically the only difference between the dm38 & dm39 is that the dm39 has an optical in. There are other tweeks that may not be apparent.

    Denon dm39 cd/receiver

    I am happy with the speakers at the price range just that I feel the bass is lacking. It might not in reality be lacking but my expectations might be too high. I have taken a chance and ordered another subwoofer of the same type. The evidence on the internet suggests that an improvement can be...

    Denon dm39 cd/receiver

    Are you willing to fund it? With what I have I think an improvement is possible but I do realise it is subjective.*wink*

    Denon dm39 cd/receiver

    Has anyone used a Denon dm39 for stereo with two subwoofers? I have a Wharefdale 150 subwoofer and was thinking of buying another to boost the bass. On the one I have I use Accoustic 2020! speakers with the crossover at it's highest.and the other controls/settings set properly but I am not happy...

    Mp3 & Bass

    I think I have solved the problem. I stream music from Amazon via the Amazon fire product. In settings there is a setting to stream music in Dolby surround instead of stereo which I turned off. The Dolby is probably more useful for movies than music? The hum has diminished somewhat.

    Mp3 & Bass

    I seem to have a "problem " playing mp3 music. I play mp3 from Amazon through my tv to a denon dm39 receiver with acoustic 2020i speakers and a wharefdale subwoofer 150. The bass seems to boom a little even when the loudness is turned down. I have set the crossover at high and at 80. RCA...

    Denon 39 & Denon DA-300USB Audio DAC with USB-B - Silver

    I have just bought a Denon 39 and have been reading about DAC's, which I am ignorant about. Would it make sense to add a Denon DA-300USB Audio DAC with USB-B - Silver in addition to the Denon39? I am also accessing music via a TV and Amazon FireTV connected to Amazon cloud and an optical cable...

    Sub woofwer woes

    Problem solved! I realised that I wasn't getting any sound from my speakers. I had them wired into the back of the sub. Switched them back to the Denon and every thing is working. I am now getting a nice subtle bass sound that i had hoped for. I did say is was new to this. Thanks for the help.

    Sub woofwer woes

    I am new to this. Tried the 12 'o clock setting but no joy. Regarding the Denon I tried the setting that doesn't use the Denon's treble or bass to no avail. Thanks for the feedback.

    Sub woofwer woes

    Come to think about it I am possibly not getting any sound from the speakers but only from the sub? I will check again. I am using the subwoofer connection on the denon and have tried the crossover settings and all the obvious ones. I will try another cd. The one I tried was a Gene Pitney cd...
