New member Username: DgavryshPost Number: 1 Registered: Mar-09 | Hello, I am trying to pick a good receiver that will give me the best sound quality with Martin Logan Vantage speakers that are a part of my Home Theater system. It is an unusual combination and very few Hi-End stores have this kind of speakers paired with a receiver. I am choosing between Yamaha RX-Z7, Denon AVC-A1HD and may be something else... In that category every receiver will have an abundance of features. I want THE SOUND. That is my primary criteria. What would be your advice? Thank you! |

The 10-channel Denon POA-A1HD amplifier would match well with this pre-amp/processor. That is if you have $15,000 available to spend on them. |

I know it is a weird question, but my idea is that I would hook the Vantage up to a decent receiver and get a resonable sound in stereo mode. Eventually I will get a worthy separates and source to power these speakers, but for now my budget for a receiver and blue ray player is $4-4,5k. I am looking on E-bay where it might be less expensive . Can you recommend something in particular? |
