I'm planning to buy a AV receiver, my current system is: DVD Philips 763SA, Front Speakers AE 309, power amplifier home made MOSFET (David Hafler kit), Tube pre amp.
Now I need the AV receiver only to amp. the center as surround speakers since that I'm going to use the AV pre outs to play the front speakers.
From what i've read, denon and yamaha are very good and I can get the 2105 for 550€ and the yamaha 1500 for 599€.
My concern is: It is the yamaha to agressive for music or it will play nice with the AE?
