Hi Tony, thanks so much for taking the time to review more “budget” real world focused equipment rather than just targeting elite components. Once they get a following so many of your peers move on to premium brands meaning reviews for components most of us can’t afford are a dime a dozen and reviews of real world equipment are scarce and often not well balanced or informed. Thanks again.

Excellent review Tony!. Would it be worth using the latest Tonewinner amp AD-8300 with a Marantz SR7015 for 7.2.4, or should I just go with a Two channel external amp to cover all channels? The AD-8300 is currently on special for A$2399 in Melbourne, so it may be an option considering the Marantz MM7025 2 Ch is currently going for A$1890 and the Marantz MM8077 7 Ch is currently going for A$3999.
@BuildMontage Жыл бұрын
Hmm... do you want to use the Marantz SR7015 and just cover the additional channels with a 2 channel? I personally (since I have a processor now) would prefer to use amplifiers for all channels if you can swing it. Tonewinner make great bang for buck amplifiers, so maybe you could go all in and switch to a Marantz processor. It all depends what your goals are - if you plan to change or upgrade, I prefer to go processor/separates myself. Either option will work though for sure, budget and your preferences will determine it for sure.

How warm did it get after sustained use? I recently bought two but got a good deal at $4,000 for buying a pair. I have not had time to set them up yet, and they will be stacked with the 6700H on the top. I have two AC Infinity T10 front exhaust fan units, which i will likely put on top of each amp at this stage, i'll open those up to add support to take the weight since these are significantly heavier than those T10s are rated to take, and the bottom one will have the weight of an amp and the weight of the Denon to deal with. The amps themselves don't look like they're going to have any issue with that weight ontop of them, they're very solid and the side heatsinks align with half each base foot anyway.

Yes this is budget for sure. It also seems really poorly designed from the specs on their site. 300 w on Channel driven is crappy. My amps push continuos 400 watts into 8ohms, 800 into 4 and 1600 into 2.

I’m sure you paid a lot more for it. Only top tier amps will fully double output when impedance is halved.

It must be said that there is no such thing in the United States as a conditional limited warranty on any electronic no matter where they are made in the the planet.. I still can't help but continue to laugh about the fact that a company is touting a conditional to the warranty on their product,.. what are they thinking p

Not sure I understand what you mean. Here in Australia we have a two year unconditional warranty by law regardless of the company's own policy. Even Apple has no choice but to abide by our consumer law here in Australia.

It's called working and loving your hobby. A good hunting rifle cost 1200 and up. Just going out to eat with 2 people gona coast you 70$ this is a piece of art that you could be using for many many years to come .. so 1500 is not alot of money..unless you work at 7/11

This amplifier,,, is not I repeat not 300 West RMS per channel all channels driven, it is a 180 W RMS all channels driven, I don't know why this false advertisement keeps coming up for this amplifier it is not necessary 😮

This was the info I was given at the time by Tonewinner. Either way 180w is still a lot and more than most speakers need. I have no way of testing so I clearly stated I’m going from the manufacturer.
