Hi All.I have been reading Whathifi for more than 10 years now,and based on Whathifi recommendations,I built a fabulous sounding budget Rotel/Nad/BW stereo system.I have been hunting for an AV Recieverfor a while now,because like the vast majority out there ,I simply dont have the space[finnancial or real estate] for separate stereo and movie systems.This is where I feel somewhat frustrated by some of the AV Reciever reviews in Whathifi.Some say there is no contest between a similarly priced AV Reciever and stereo amp when it comes to music making.I agree to a certain extent.Ironically,one can only trully enjoy high resolution multichannel music through a multi-channel amplifier of some sort.Sadly, for people like me looking for a one stop amplfier solution for both music and movies,the Whathifi reviewers give hardly more than a mere passing comment when describing an AV Recievers music making capabilities.Take for example,the Pioneer LX52 and the Pioneer LX82 reviews in the October and November issues respectively and see what I mean.All that was said of the Denon AVR 1910 was that it is a "frighteningly good all rounder,with movies and music"[Whathifi,September 2009] So,er,can I now [pending an audition off course],safley consider replacing my Rotel RA -02 with the Denon?
