Hi

Im looking at getting a amp for my pc setup £200 is what im spending and ive seen the Denon AVR1507,but ive not seen any reviews on that amp.

Does anyone have any postive or negative things to say about this?

check out the tx-sr605

its got hdmi inputs/outputs and supports 1.3 which ps3 supports and x-box360

about £400 though but future proof your self

Maybe for my setup in my living room

But this is for my pc in my bedroom and my budget is £200 for the amp

Thats the amp im wanting to get,no ive not got a hi-fi or anything in my bedroom,and second hand is not a option

It needs to be seperates for my future install for when ive done out the loft,but it still has to be in the £200 range

well it won 5 stars and best receiver under £400 awards 2006 in What Hi-Fi sound and vision

no hdmi though

for lcd plasma in the future

[jezzer]

Yea i seen that it has won awards,but that doesn't really mean to much

I was asking if anyone has one so i could have some user/customer reviews

I wouldn't be hooking up any lcd tv's with this one,so thats ok

Ive just found out that the Denon AVR1507 isn't as good as it sounds

So it looks like the only other option is the Denon AVR1508,but once again i cant find any reviews

i have one and i'm very happy with it, initially i felt a bit disdappointed but once i adjusted the bass/treble to my liking it really grew on me. it woul;d be nice if it did have hdmi connections but when i bought it a year ago it wasn't heard of. i am satisfied with the number of inputs and the speaker calibration helps improve things further. recently i have been playing streamed mp3's from ps3 from the optical connection and my mouth drops all the time.

The review i saw on the Denon AVR1507 said this

This receiver lacks raw power but will cope with straight forward systems,it seems a little to soft,it seems to hold back a little when it hits a crescendo or a recorded explosion,also it clearly lacks detail

So now the ones im looking at are:

Yamaha RXV361

Denon AVR1508

ONKYO HTR508

Out of those whats the best?

[niall campbell]

you need to up your budget or get a new soundcard for your computer and a surround package for your computer speakers

either that or buy second hand which will mean you can get a lot more expensive amp for your money

i have the avr1507 and i love it.the only downside is the front is plastic and not metal. so 9/10 for me.
