in 2 Channel Audio
The other day, i was in Dallas, at my friends,it seems he picked up an older 2 channel Denon, dra 775rd, it sounded ok, for what it was, i personally have never heard of this receiver, he said it came out in 95, as a collector of older receivers its rather odd that ive never heard of it, has anybody on here heard of it?? it says it was made in Japan.
Not an Audiophile, just a dude who loves music, and decent gear to hear it with.

    Most of those little Denons 40-100wpc receivers pack a punch. We had a small one in spare bedroom with Klipsch sb1 speakers with a small sub. Sounded great on 2/1 HT. They can be had cheap & sound pretty good

    That is one of the last of the good Denon stereo receivers. It is rated 90wpc and can drive low impedance speakers well. It has pre-out and main-inputs.
