Bit the bullet and grabbed a runout Denon 4310 (will arrive next week) to replace my Marantz 730OSE.
Movies are very much a second priority for me but they can still be fun and I like good sound. The detail and atmospheric sounds I was getting before the Marantz died were very impressive. The Marantz based HT responded well to my efforts with power and room response. After reluctantly spending the cash I am hoping the Denon will be better still.
I know matched speakers are ideal (I once had 705/HTM7 across the front), but space and 2 channel priority does not allow any more than one audio setup (I have a spare room but its too small)
I have been happy enough with the HTM7 for movies with my 804s, although I was noticing the increasing gulf between the two as the 2 channel was tweaked.(see profile for system details)
Has anyone found that Audyessy helps to minimise the tonal differences between speakers or am I hoping for too much?
I know that the HTM7 will not match the detail etc of the 804s but minimising the differences in frequency response in theory would help them blend a little better.
