Denon 1910 VS Onkyo TXNR609

[Ian986]

Hi All, I have a Denon 1910 and I am thinking of upgrading to the Onkyo TXNR609. The What Hi fi give it a great review but a few people on here dont seem to be to happy with theirs. Any advice or comments please.

I don`t have vast experience with AV receivers but I do have an Onkyo 609, and though I am experiencing a problem with it at the moment, it doesn`t warrant me giving it a bad name. I`m not disappointed with its performance, it`s a nice receiver, but with me, it`s more of a case of being frustrated at what I don`t understand.

I saw them at richersounds for £399 I hope they have not put them back up now

Went to Richer Sounds today and they still have them at £399 but asked for advice and he said that sound quality would not be any better than my 1910 and said that I should buy 1912 he did ask what speakers I have as well. This is different to what hi fi reckons?

Really confused what to do now!

It depends on what your priority. If your priority is waching films, then the Onkyo will give you a very good soround sound and pict quality....but for stereo music, the Denon 1910 is better...

Unless you fancy some of the Onkyos features like Spotify, or network facilities I should stick with what you have. The 1910 is a great amplifier especially for film.

Thanks for the reply I have kind of decided to do that maybe next years models will be a better upgrade.
