Denon is very good for AV performance but not strong at music. Depends on whether you use your AMP for AV or music. If you use it solely for music Cambrige may be a better choice than Denon.
Denon AVR-2105 has auto setup which is a very good and easy use function for setting up the 5.1/6.1/7.1 speakers.
It is best to buy at Mongkok Body Shop 樓上 記得講價. Even though if you do not bargin the price should be less than the chain shop like Fortress Boardway etc.

I m using accuphase amp for mainly listening vocal and classical music.
it sounds great.作者: Billy 時間: 2004-9-1 00:43:11
accuphase is a very good brand of amplifier but $$$$$$$ too expensive la.
A few thousands is even not enough for amplifier only.
I am using Onkyo TX-DS838 Integra I buy it 7 years before. Top model of Onkyo AV amplifier at that moment.
When I was brougth the amplifer 7 years before I have compare many different brand top model included Denon Sony Onkyo Marantz and Yamaha.
Demon strong but not soft enough.
Yamaha soft but not strong enough.
Sony is the worst.
Onkyo and Marantz is somewhere in the middle.
Finally I choice Onkyo.
I think which brand depends on what kind of music you like.
About Cambridge Audio it is for music only no AV function. We cannot compare AV amplifier and musical amplifier two different things and different function if you want see the moive with 5.1 it is no choice you must buy a AV amplifier. If you want only music only. No needed to think anyy more musical amplifier.
About musical amplifier Cambridge can said "a little below middle level".
If you really wanted go sound with cheap price you can try ShengYa with is a China brand name. The sound is really good but the price is low. 4000 HKD can have a very good amplifier. I try in Mongkok one ShengYa amplifier which is tude pre-amp and MOSFET power amplifer it have the feeling of tude amplifer but the power is strong. I think it is a very good choice.

我都用過 Accuphase P-102 和 A-20 的後級 已經是多年前了. 看你可會用多小錢來換機和用什麼牌字喇叭 但一定要買 Pure Class A 純甲類機種 因為真系比較靚聲! 我買了 Focus JMLab - Mezzo Utopia 喇叭 後級要買 Cello - Performance Mark Levinson - 20.6 Goldmund - 28M 等 現在選擇中!作者: cute 時間: 2004-9-1 22:19:45

Cambrigde Audio has AV amplifier which is 6.1 type and model is 540R. The price is around $3XXX.作者: KMKO 時間: 2004-9-2 13:52:41
Yes Cambrigde 540R is an AV amplifier and the price is acceptable. Unless one is going to 影音分家 one cannot expect an AV amplifier with very good music performance. If one fonds of both music and movie 影音分家 is the best choice. Of course $$$$$ and space has to be considered for new hands an AV AMP I think is suitable unless he uses it for music only. If affordable of course 金嗓子 is one of the best choices but then one have to pay more on the speakers and even though the power cord and the speaker cables to obtain the best musical performance. You will not buy 金嗓子and use standard 5.1 sets of speakers
I really think it needs time (of course money) to gain the AV experience. No need to buy so high end products at the initial stage la (except money and space is not the question)

Hi Guys
I want to buy KEF KHT5005. which one of the below is better ??
Thanks very much for your quick reply ar kyu !!! :em11: :em11:
I tend to buy Cambridge Audio. one of the reason is their cool appearance . . .作者: Roscoe 時間: 2005-2-20 01:50:11
I have Cambridge audio 540R AVAmp...
Good musical performance and AV is okay too!!! (actually I like listen to CD than DVD)
I find that it's muscial performance is better than the Japan brand of similar $$...
Initially I use a cheap cheap DVD player to play music I am satify with it's performance.... until KYU take his CDP to my home I've found that buying a CDP is a good choice!!!
Afterall I bought the Cambridge audio 640C CD player...
It match with the 540R with good musical performance!!!
