Which Denon receiver?

[marco78]

Hi All,


have a question about the Denon receiver I can use with these speakers I have at home:

Canton Chrono 509.2 DC speakers plus the center speaker.
The speakers have 4t/m8 Ohms
The standing speakers have a minimum of 160 watts to 320 Watts max.

Now i have the Denon AVR-1912 but regularly goes into the safe mode.

Do you have advice for me?

Ciao Marco

You need to change the receiver because there are no pre-outs on the 1912. Sorry, but there is no why to fix the situation with this receiver.

So, pick up a receiver that has pre outs and add a 2 channel amp for the Cantons.

Try increasing the speakers channel level to +6dB (Denon 1912 Manual Setup -->Speakers Setup-->Channel Level) first and see if that helps.

Any particular features you need on the 3312?

Otherwise, you can get the Denon 990 (clone of Denon 3310/3311/3312) for $638:

For external amps, there are several routes.

1) "pro" amps like QSC, Crown, Yamaha, Behringer - but they do have internal fans -- so slight noise

2 "budget" amps like OSD AMP300 for $346:
Amazon.com: OSD Audio AMP300 2-Channel Dual-Source 300-Watt High Definition Power Amplifier (Black): Electronics

It is 150wpc x 2ch 8ohm, 250wpc x 2ch 4ohm, stable to 2ohm. Even has the blue UV power meter like McIntosh so you can monitor how many Watts you are actually using.

It has variable gain control like the pro-style amps. The AMP300 is a solid state amp, and no fans, so quieter than pro amps.

3) "mid-budget" amps like Emotiva. Very popular.

Could also get the 200watts monoblock amps for $350 each from Emotiva or Outlaw Audio, so 2 monoblocks = $674:

4) "mid-high-end" amps like ATI amps.

Looks like that denon 990 has multieq vs multieq xt in the 3312.

Any particular reason you want to stick with Denon?

No big deal to me.

You guys wonder why the AVR-990 is $1500 and the AVR3312 is $1100?

990/3310 has Anchor Bay ABT-2010 video processor, and the 3312 has some generic processor I don't know?

990/3310 is also 2 lbs heavier than 3312 (28lbs vs 26lbs).

3312 has dual sub outputs vs single on 990, but Y-cable can fix that.

I have 3312, 3310, & 990.

Now if the price were similar, 3312 would be good. But if I could get the 990 for $638, that's easy choice.

The new DENON AVRs will be introed in May and shipping in June/July....
This will reduce the pricing of their current models significantly when put on closeout....

Just my $0.02...
