New Amp

[Nolia]

I am getting rid of my Yamaha RX-V765 and I have short listed potential amps to sit on my rack

Onkyo 807, Yam RX-V2065 and Denon 2310. 3D business isn't important to me. Sound is. So which one will drive my Missions best ladies and gents?

I have/had Mission floorstanders/centre/dipole rears and drove them really well with a big Onkyo so I could really recommend the 807...how about the new 608?

im in favour of upgrading speakers first

 

[Nolia]

Not keen on it (608). Well as for upgrading speakers I can't do that. There were bought only 2 months ago. can't really afford a new set to be honest. I have been offered good money for my 765. my budget is £500 and saw all 3 amps within my buget

Then I would go for the Onk

 

[Nolia]

so the onkyo will be good music wise? I know a dedicated stereo amp will perform better.

 

[grdunn123]

As you say, a dedicated amp will be better with music, if that's gonn be your primary source then you should look at that, if it's gonna be 'av' then the Onk is a great amp.

 

[Nolia]

yeah. I just want a AV receiver that will perform well with music and excellent with movies. Like I said stereo amps will perform better but Im after something decent enough music wise.

If you're using it for music, I 'd go for the Yamaha personally. I think that there will be some improvement over your existing amp, but not earth shattering as the differential isn't great enough. Just a thought - do you really have two subs and no centre speaker? It looks that way in your signature?

 

[Nolia]

stopped using the roth one. I do have a roth center but will be changing it asap for a mission m3 series center. I will try and get a demo for both Onkyo & 2065 this weekend.

I have got the Yamaha in London today. Decided to stick with them. I might be deaf or something but evn though I increased the volume trim to 6db but it doesn't sound loud as the young brother 765.... However I do feel a improvement music wise. Will spin the blu-rays tomorrow and see how it perform. Got Flight of The Phoenix, 2012 and James Bond Quantam of the Solace. I am happy with the Monitor Audio Sub boy oh boy I am loving it.

done. thanks. Is it me going deaf. For some strange reason my mind keeps thinking the RX-V765 sounded louder at -65 compared to my new RX-V2065. I might be deaf
