An Outstanding Amp!

Wow!! It took awhile but I finally found the amp I was looking for! I purchased a pair of vintage Infinities and my Marantz 8006 just couldn't drive them and I needed a better amp. I really liked the sound of the 8006 so I ordered a new Marantz 7025 stereo power amp...didn't make it. I liked the 8006 better. I tried a friend's older, used Adcom that he wanted to sell....it had more power but it didn't make the grade either . Next I tried a new Parasound amp. It definitely had the power to control the dual voice coil woofer but it was lacking in sound stage and imaging...everything sounded smaller and compressed compared to the smaller Marantz. That's when I started reading up on the Denon, and I learned that its' power ratings were VERY conservative. After months of looking I decided to give the Denon a try. From the moment I first heard it I knew I found my amp. Right away the bottom end was as controlled as it was with the Parasound but with more detail. The mids and highs were open, detailed and full and not at all edgy. The amp opened up over the next month and the sound improved in every way. The Infinities sing now and I'm totally pleased with my system. This amp is amazing and I highly recommend it.

Nice audiophile option

Purchased KEF speakers with this to power them. Although this runs 75 watts per channel, our music sounds great. Full, balanced, clear with good imaging. I like that this amp supports a phonograph also. Don't need a separate preamp. No complaints! Replaced a 30+ year old Denon amp and preamp with this... it finally died.
