Hi
Have been mulling over an amp upgrade since my Denon 2311 developed a fault earlier this year. The Denon 3500 looks to tick a good number of boxes for around £480 from RS... It would be nice if I could stretch my budget to either the 4500, newly announced 3600, or Marantz equivalent, but realistically I won't be adding Atmos speakers to my 6.0 setup. I guess more expensive receivers tend to hold their value better but I will be sticking with this for the foreseeable future.
As the 3500 is end of line I am wondering if the price will go lower. Any reason to hold off? Other than the fault I was relatively happy with my 2311 so this should be a nice upgrade both sonically and from the xt32 I reckon.
Thoughts?
