I just figured there was no way an inexpensive receiver of today could match up with the great vintage era amps/receivers. Thought one would have to spend thousands to get comparable quality.
Got this receiver in a deal where I wanted the speakers. Never really even gave it a 2nd thought. Hooked it up to make sure everything worked, to a pair of PSB 500 speakers.
Must say I was really surprised. It is a really nice receiver, sound is really clean, surprisingly so for me anyway. Hate to say it, but I like it better then the Kenwood KR 7600. I ran it through the gamut, some Diana Krall, steely dan and some pink floyd - kenwood was a little deeper in bass, but I believe it is just because the Denon is cleaner - reminds me of a carver amp actually.
Is really nice little amp.

also, I can not find out anything about this amp. I was wondering what else was made in this series but with a little more power? Can't even find it on Denon's website.
