Hi there
I'm another newby with a little knowledge (i.e. dangerous) and I'm in need of some advice.
I've currently got a Denon AVR-1906 which I added some B&W 684s to and got rid of the silly little 5.1 surround speakers I had. Really happy with the 684s but feel like I'm might be missing something.
When I was buying my speakers the salesman suggested I look at upgrading/chaning my amp to a stereo amp as I mainly use the system to listen to music. So, I've got a few quesitons and hope someone can help:
1) Why would a stereo amp be better than an AV amp for listening to music?
2) I saw that the Rotel RA-1520 is a good match with B&W 684s and recommended by What HiFi (I think but can't find the articel again). If the RA-1520 is only 60w/channel is my AVR-1906 better as it has 85w/channel?
3) Would the Roksan Kandy K2 be a better choice?
4) I mainly listen to 320Kbps MP3s through my AppleTV using WiFi and connecting the AppleTV by optical cable to the Amp. Should I be considering a seperate DAC? Or am I being really dumb using WiFi/AppleTV/MP3s?
Thanks to anyone out there that can help me.
