Im trying to decide between the Denon AVR 2400 and the Denon AVR 1700. I curently have the sony 550 DVD player which has a built in DD
decoder. THe 2400 is refurbished for about $250 - 300 price range and the 1700 is about 350 new. Any body have any idea.Carl
I need to know if you need power (2400) or clarity (1700) more.
I have JBL L-166 fronts about 100w
and jbl rears 75w
JBl sunwoofer 100w
and center 100w
... I've got a pair of completely revamped 910s in my closet doing nothing, but I digress...With 12" paper woofers power is a higher priority. Afterall, the increased clarity is fairly lost on relatively weighty paper cones & metal domes. Thus, ignore the 24bit Burr-Browns DACs in the 1700 & opt for the added umph from the 2400.
thanks for the tip I purchased the AVR 2800. they rock
you'll spaz when you hear that I replaced the units in my 910 4-ways.1st, I replaced the 1" Titanium dome with a Polk MM3000 when a lass I was living with blew them while I was out once.
2nd, I replaced the 5" paper cone midrange with an Audax HT100Z0 for dispersion, but it sounded horned w/ multiple source interference, until I added a phase plug. After which, the speaker tightened right up revealing enormous detail.
3rd, I replaced the 10" paper woofer with a Lanzar LP15S8.
4th, I replaced the 8" paper cone midbass with an Audax Ht210X0.
5th, I designed myown minimalist 4-way XO structure w/ dead flat response because it's a cascading 1st-order than has but one component between the driver & the amp.
