Once upon a time, in Australia, in 1980, I purchased a pair of AR12's together with other Hi Fi components. As time went by I replaced the other items one by one and added a Boston CRC centre and 2 Energy EXL150 surround back speakers.
In 2002 I got a sub YST SW320 and a NAD C541 CD player. In 2005 I got a Cambridge 540R and in 2008 a pair of ProAc Studio 140's.
The AR12's are less efficient than the ProAcs. The music sound form the NAD/540R/ProAc's is very pleasant but I feel the need to upgrade the 540R receiver for a variety of reasons.
I have been looking around in shops and on the net and have narrowed my search down to the Yamaha RX-V2065, the Denon AVR-2310 and the Cambridge 650R which would fall within my budget.
I am no expert but I do like to have very good quality music with the ability to have good sound for movies or home videos (DVD's). For DVD player I have a $59 **** Smith model bought in 2005. Well it plays anything.
One shop informed me that the Cambridge would be better than the Denon because it was a high current amp. and would give me more power. I read a review of the Cambridge and it was not very good about the sound.
I have had a look at the other threads for ProAcs but would appreciate some expert advice in the area of a suitable receiver, or any other propositon.
Thanks in advance,
Phil.
