Hey Guys,
I currently have (2) AVR's, a Denon 1713 and a Tascam PAR200. I bought the Tascam for $200 on ebay last year to use as a bedroom receiver. For those unfamiliar, it's essentially very similar to a high end Onkyo/Integra receiver. I actually really liked the receiver and ended up throwing it into the man setup and the 1713 went to the bedroom. Well we've moved, and my new setup in the basement allows for me to get a nice subwoofer and my wife can't say anything about it. So I ordered a Rythmik FV15hp and now I worry my setup may be lacking because the Tascam only utilizes Audyssey 2EQ.
I'm no audiophile, but based on my reading it seems the Audyssey XT on my 1713 would probably better serve the main setup in the basement in terms of getting everything setup right. Would I be better served switching the Denon back to the main setup? Is power a concern running my Pioneer towers considering the Tascam runs 100w and the Denon runs 80w. Would I notice any difference there?
I've also been thinking about putting my old subwoofer in the garage and buying a cheap receiver for out there to go with that and some speakers I have laying around. Something like the Denon 1513 can be had for $130 refurbished. But then I saw the x1100w for $250 refurbished on Amazon and Accessories4less. Any thoughts on the 1100? Any concerns buying a refurb from amazon or A4less?
