Guys,
I'm thinking about buying a used five-speaker set of Acoustic Zen Adagios/Adagio Juniors. If I go this route, can a stand-alone AVR give these babies what they need to be their best? If so, is my current Denon AVR-1909 good enough or do I need to move up the chain or to a different brand?
I have an old(er) Panasonic DMP-BD35; would I need to upgrade that or just upgrade the AVR, assuming upgrading the AVR is even necessary?
Finally, my current HT speakers are old Infinity Overture 2/CC3/RS3. Assuming I have average hearing for a guy in his 30s will the difference in sound quality with the Adagios and a well-matched AVR be significant on anything other than music DVDs/BDs? I have heard the Adagios in a two-channel system and love them. In fact, had the Ridge Street Audio Sasons not blown me away the weekend after I heard the Adagios I'd already have a pair for my two-channel rig. I realize that for HT application that doesn't mean there will be enough information apart from dialogue to make the upgraded speakers a worthwhile investment, though.
Advice is greatly appreciated.
HC
