Hello,

Just wondering if you can lend some advice as I'm thinking of switching my current receiver.

I currently have a Sony STR-DN1050 and I'm thinking of switching it out for a Denon AVR-X3200W. In your opinion would this be an upgrade? I'm interested in the Atmos capability as well as the Audyssey calibration feature. I've heard it's quite a bit better than the Sony offered calibration and with me being new to this whole world I'd like something that be calibrated as easy as possible. I just don't want to spend the money to replace my current receiver only to not really find any noticeable difference.

I mostly use my system for TV/Movies/PS4, hardly every music and seeing as I live in a Condo I don't watch/listen excessively loud.

My current audio setup:

Elac C5
2x Elac B6
2 x Elac B4
Subwoofer from Energy Take Classic system (looking to upgrade, but not sure if necessary living in a condo)

Thank you,

It would likely be an upgrade in audio quality (although also subjective based on your ears, room, and speakers); however, a necessary purchase regardless if you want Atmos and DTS:X capability.

Refer to the first posts in the 2015 Denon AVR Owner's thread for more info on this model ....

Yes yes yes, this would be a great upgrade! I had the sony 1050 as well and switched to the denon 910 which is actually about the same price point and it was way better. You'll hear much better channel separation for one, I guess this would be because the sony uses an integrated amp vs denon using separate amps. So getting a 3200 in my eyes be a fantastic upgrade!!

Audyssey alone is worth the upgrade. As mentioned by JD, you will need to switch if you want DTS-X-Atmos.
