Newbie here, buying all new system, and it has been years, so I am an A/V idiot mostly. I am buying Klipsch RF7 front/center/sub, but due to room configuration and limitations for rears (7.1), I am going with KEF (the ones which drop down) for rears. I have been assured by numerous sources on watching movies that the two speaker differences won't clash (thoughts anyone?). My main question is this. I had always thought I was set on the Denon 3805 (though I am at least exploring the 5803), but lately my research is leading me to Rotel. Anyone have thoughts on the two, and more importantly, which will sound better with the big Klipsch I am set on? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Why might the Denon have better current? Denon receivers rate well below their stated power output capabilities, while Rotel rates at or above what they state.
Rotel receivers have much better power supplies than Denon. I do not like the Denon/Klipsch combination at all as the Denon is too thin sounding for Klipsch. Try Marantz, Elite or H/K. These are warm sounding and balance the brightness of the Klipsch which to my ears are very,very bright and fatiguing unless driven by a warm amp. Rotel's are great but not on the warm side either.
