Denon AVRX 4200 Vs AVRX 2300

[The Dodge]

I am looking to replace my exisitng Harmon Kardon AV amp and can get both of the Denon amps for around the same cost.

Should I go for the older model 4200 or the newer 2300. Will the 4200 sound better?

I don't need Atmos and wil be buying the Monitor Audio Bronze 5 AV speaker package shortly

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Yes, the 4200 will sound better. :good:

I don't know about the 2300, but I was in a 7oaks yesterday enquiring about the 4200 and the dealer said the 3300 sounds significantly better than the 4200, due to it being 2nd generation Atmos and having more processing power.

He might be right, or he might not. I'm keeping an open mind.

Went to Richer Sounds Nottm and wasnt impressed with either Denon. I tried an Onkyo which was so tinny and shrill , even withthe bass up full was terrible.

Yamaha was so much better

Tested them with Bronze 5 & 6 speakers but Dali equiv' sounded much better. Goes to prove never believe magazine reviews and always demo them before buying
