Mahihirapan sila idrive ang A7 lalo na ang A9 coz they're floorstanders...
Tutunog yan pero hindi full potential... Sayang lang yung speakers.
Try to get 717 or higher AVR.
I understand but given the limited budget that was allowed (before I get kicked out of the house) i can't settle for anything more expensive, else i'd not bought the A1s for surround and some pretty Sanus stands.
In the near future, i might just go big on the upgrade with a better receiver and an emotive XPA-3 for the A7s and my next center - A6.
I appreciate your suggestion bro
for $499 (shipping from US to PH not included,) i'd go with the TX-NR709 (currently $499.77 brand new from OneCall via Amazon). it's got MultEQ XT + 7.1 pre-outs so you have to option of using external amplification if you wish to do so. it's a bit older (2011 model) but its features are still up to date. i don't recommend the 717 as it only as 2EQ
given that A7/A9 are what i would consider upper midrange speakers based on heirarchy, it makes sense that you pair them with an upper midrange receiver as well. an 809 or 818 would be great if you could stretch your budget
Thing is, im not in PH right now
and Amazon Canada has fewer items than the US site so..
If i bought from the amazon us, i'd be charged with alot like shipping, duties and not to mention tax.
Best choice would be to shop here in CA or Canadian sites - but that would be in the near future plan.
Guys, as of now i'm pretty happy with the 515. It powers my A7s, A1 and measly Cs10 but for now its good enough for my needs.
I wish to play it above 50 vol but I knew better than that. Living in an apartment has so much limitations here compared there in the PH.
And should I mention I got a noise complaint email the other day?
