just curious what other members use amp/reciever-wise.
I have a Kenwood 6060 driving my 340 mains.
Soon it will also be driving a 340 center.

Denon 3803.
Randy
Sherwood Newcastle P-965 pre/pro
ATI AT1502 and AT1505 amps
I'm sort of embarassed to say - just a measly Pioneer VSX-409. That will be remedied SOMEDAY.
i'm using an older technics 5.1 reciever. will probably go the refurbished denon route after awhile.

Old Onkyo 656 driving everything...
Outlaw 1050 receiver powering 170L/R, older B&W 600CC and RA Labs Micromonitor surrounds.
The sub is a PSB Subsonic 3.
I have a Pioneer VSX-1014TX-K biamping my Ascend CMT-340M's. Next purchase = HSU sub, then finally CMT-340C + a pair of CMT-170's!
Hey Quinn,
"2 channel- JVC RX-F10 "digital" receiver with a pair of 340s"
Have you posted your impressions of this combo anywhere? I'd be very interested in reading about it.
David
I have a Yamaha HTR-5790 that handles my CBM-170 surrounds and processing duty. Outlaw M-200 monoblocks (3 of them) run my CMT-340 mains and center.

We have an integrated HT/2 channel system, with 340s across the front, 170s to the rear, and an Hsu VTF-3 Mk2 sub. A Pioneer VSX-2012 handles movies, and an NAD C370 integrated amp does the 2 channel.

MY system is powered by a B&K 507.
(I LOVE IT !)
Denon AVR-5700 (140 watts per channel in 5.1 setup). I love this receiver....
Bill
Integra 5.2 powering 340 center, 170 mains, and 200 surrounds.
always looking to upgrade. Maybe HK or Denon next time.
When I receive my 340 L/R pair Tuesday, they will be powered by a Pioneer VSX-54TX.
how do you like your yamaha? i've been thinking about that receiver. it seems to have some good features for it's price. would you recommend it to someone who's looking for an affordable 7.1 solution, powering 6 170's and a 340 main?Quote:

It's 110wx7, THX Select, Auto MCACC setup, component upconversion, etc. It can be had from Best Buy or J&R for $399.
Jeh, I really like my Yamaha, and still consider it at the top of the short list for best bang-for-the-buck receivers. The Pio 1014 has also garnered lots of praise, but I haven't heard it.
When I finally get my 340 L/C/R set up, they will be driven by my Denon 3803S(silver) receiver. I'll still be driving my older Polk RT-15i's for the surrounds until I get enough to order a set of 170s.
HK 3480 Stereo receiver
EDIT: I updated my receiver since I upgraded.
Harman/Kardon AVR-435 for my CBM-170 mains and CMT-340 center. A sub and surrounds coming in the next few months. Great sound....great sound...
i currently have a denon 1803, when i order the ascends, im thinking of the h/k 335 or 435
See my sig... ;)
Outlaw Audio Model 950 Pre/Pro
Rotel 120Wx5 RMB-1075 Amplifier
H/K AVR635.
But no Ascends yet... :( I'm hoping to save up enough in a few months.
Denon 3803.
Ascends are scheduled for delivery on Thursday!
"MY system is powered by a B&K 507."
Did you have another receiver in the past and can you compare them? if you did.
I currently have the H/K 630. Sound good but I still feel the power is not very clean/clear. I have listened to separate and definitely feel the difference. I'm considering buying the B&K ref. 125.7 s2 and preamp my H/K to it and eventually replacing the H/K with B&K processor or Sunfire. So anyone with comment, experience with B&K stuff, please let me know.
Yes....Dave used to have a on older Sherwood/Newcastle receiver.Quote:
