Was my friend given misinformation.


My friend is just getting into audio for a music system. In his price rang I thought the Rogue Sphinx V3 would be a nice choice. He could also look at the Revel Concerta 2 line of speakers. Well he decided to stop by Magnolia at Best Buy.  Not a bad setup he got a Denon 3700 AVR and a pair of B&W 603's. He said the salesman told him to stay away from integrated amps as they are not anything but stripped down AVR's without the features. So I guess all us owners of 2 channel preamps and integrated have been duped. Who knew??

The real shame is that he was duped into buying an AVR. These have no place in a serious audio system.

@facten Must not be much of a friend , he listened to the best buy guy and not you

I have a friend who asks my advice and then asks all our friends for advice, then doesn't listen to any of it.

I’m no fan of rear ports, but that’s a lot of speaker for the price they are asking. same for your recommended Revel

OF the Integrated’s that Best Buy sells, then Integrated being a stripped down AVR makes ’best buy sense’.

your recommended amp is soooo clean, what a mess he bought.

He will be alright. It has a full set of preouts.

Wow Best Buy who would have know! Maybe Whole Foods will give me advice on my next car.
