Please help: Proac sorround speakers and Denon AVR2310 good match?

[admin_exported]

I am honing on on a 5.1 system based on Proac surround speakers. I have the ProAc D15s as FrontL and FrontR driven by an Arcam A32. I am looking to add Proac Response Satellites and a Response Centre. My thinking is to get the Denon 2310 to drive the sorrounds and to run the pre-outs to the A32 to let it continue driving the L & R.
Am I making a mistake here? Is the Denon 'good' enough for the ProAcs? I don't really want to spend that much more but would be prepared to in order to avoid a complete mismatch.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

Are there any rules that suggest a ratio of costs of speakers versus cost of AV amp? Should I spend the same on the amp as I would on speakers?

I don't see any reason why the Denon AVR-2310 would not be able to do this job splendidly!

Thanks. That's encouraging to know.

No doubt the Proac's will sound great, but will be far from their best driven by the AVR2310. I'm using a Yamaha DSP-Z7 with my Proac's, whilst the Z7 drives them with ease, I'm under no illusion that they could sound far better. However, I would say you're right in thinking that you need to keep an all Proac front row, I don't think it's so necessary with the rears unless you'll be using them for surround music.
