I'm currently in the process of upgrading a couple of sources and would like a few opinions on the matter. I have an opportunity to get higher quality in both DVD and CD sources compared to what I have now but there may be some drawbacks and would like a little input. I'm a music first HT second listener and am looking for value and quality in my next purchase. I'm also looking for a great performing combination that will stay with me for the next five+ years that gives me the best overall enjoyment.
5.1 is fine with me I don't really want or need much more than that. I do want proper audio out of CD first and then DVD, pllus all the other formats that follow with these players.
If you had a choice which would you rather have?
Denon 2910 DVD + Krell KAV250 CD (used)
or
McIntosh MVP-841 (used)
I know little, but enough about the sources, to know that it should be a solid combo overall.
With the only drawback to package one being question marks about Denons' video playback issues and lack of quality for a long-term purchase I know that I will be upgrading the DVD player before I upgrade the other source. I know the Denon will lose it's value as soon as I buy it and the Krell will hold true to it's purchase value for quite a long time and the Krell will stay in my system for a long time.
I know very little about McIntosh products other than the faact that they are built solid/overkill, prove to be top notch performers in most aspects and hold thier value as well as any other top notch players. I've never owned any and have read few reviews of McIntosh as there are very few out there to be read. Obviously the Mc will stay in my system for a very long time also. Basically I'm looking for a great performing combination that will stay with me for the next five+ years and fulfill the satisfaction of great CD playback as well as good DVD playback.
So which would you like to have in your system, and back it up as to why?
Thanks for reading and I appreciate all opinions.
