There are companies selling direct and they can offer more quality since they are cutting out the middleman. www.ascendacoustics.com On the receivers, I think a NAD and onkyo 800 and above sounds better than a Denon - they got good reviews here - www.hifichoice.co.uk Go with the ones the pros recommend on hifi magazines, and you will end up with better sound. Go slow and hear many before deciding. |
