Hi,
I'm after a basic decent setup that'll allow me to play music in the living room from our various iOS devices and from a media server.
I think I've narrowed down the options to the following;
1) Denon PMA520AE Amp, Denon DNP720AE Music Streamer, and Wharfedale Diamond 9.0 speakers - Cost £374
2) Denon DRAN5 with Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Speakers - £370
3) Denon DRAN5 with Denon SC-N5 Speakers - £309
I suppose what I'd like to know is which of the above will provide the better and louder sound quality, and does anyone else have any similar suggestions with a maximum price of £400.
The Denon DRAN5 outputs 2x65watts while the PMA520 amp only outputs 2x45 watts, although I understand that to the ear there'll be very little difference between the two.
Is it better to get the seperates, which provides the ability to add-on and modify individual components, or get the all-in-one option with the amp and media server together, making the only changable component the speakers?
