Hi folks,
I see from searches that similar questions have been asked before, but not quite for my particular setup, so apologies for some redundancy.
I pulled the trigger yesterday on a Denon AVR-X4700H which will be used as preamp/processor for front channels and amplifier for centre/rear/height channels in a surround setup. I plan to pair the 4700 with a separate amplifier for my front channels. Fronts are Totem Forests - floor standing full range speakers with 86dB sensitivity, and the room is moderately large for a home space - 16' x 22' with 9.5' ceiling. Use will be about 80% movies and games in surround, and about 20% stereo music listening, predominantly CDs but a bit of vinyl and streaming.
I'm debating either a VTV Purifi Eval1 unit that I would clean up and port to a new case, or a 4-channel Hypex NC252MP from Buckeye (using each stereo module to biamp each speaker).
I'm not expecting there to be much of a difference between these two setups in terms of sound quality or power output, but is there any reason (other than $300 cheaper for the Hypex setup) to prefer one over the other?
Much appreciate your thoughts!
