I’ve got the AVR-X1600H, great unit, perfect for our house.

Nice! It was time to upgrade from my 15yr+ Denon receiver, pre HDMI era! Had the new AVR pumping out great sound for Ambulance last night. In truth, I need new, better, bigger speakers but that will have to wait.

Modern bit of kit your Denon ? I bought my Rotel RX-402 receiver in 1976 (with some of my first 1st yr student grant - my mum took the rest ?) and it’s still going strong, though Audiokarma website consider it ‘almost an antique’. Perfect match with my Dunlop Systemdek.?

The 1700 is probably the best value to performance out there at the minute. I have a 3 year old 2500H and it’s great but even as a higher model lacks some of the finesse of the 1700.

I did briefly look at the X2800H and X2700H but for what the X1700H was offering, it seemed a no-brainer for my level.
I'm au fait with TV tech, but a right novice when it comes to sound and I want to "know" what good sound, sounds like! I know my speakers are at best OK and are very much lacking

The 1700 will give you plenty good sound but no matter how good the amp the speakers will always hold it back if not matched.

Hey, I had one of those. Last seen in a loft somewhere. Can’t remember even which house??
Days of Hi Fi, eh? Quad etc
Now, there’s a way to spend money easily?
All gone, but now very expensive headphones, DAC, and I pad.

Its a very expensive door to go through, chasing Hi Fi sound?

I've heard the unwritten rule that speakers need to be a minimum of double the avr price...??.

???. There is a high end audio place near me. Not a shop, a studio, lounges etc
( a mortgage broker has an office in there…….I jest!).I got my headphones there.
About 4 years ago.
This is true…..On my way out, near the door was a freestanding, quite high , large looking vinyl turntable deck with turntable, arm and cartridge.
It was just a turntable, no amplifier or anything else.
I admired it , and asked the guy how much it was…….
Answer..£132,000.00

Don’t forget you’ll need 100% oxygen free unobtanium cables that are £10000p/m with connectors forged from the core of a neutron star.
