Control-IT Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Probably been asked many times but things change. Looking for a recco on a 9.2 channel Atmos AVR. Looking to try to stay with a single unit to keep costs down but would move into separates if there is a good cost effective combo. Of course C4 integration important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopedogg88 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I like the Denon's,they work great with C4 and IP control. 4500H is a good one, let me know if you need help sourcing one, I can get those (or Sony, Marantz, etc) at good prices.

Crustyloafer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Anthem MRX1120 would be my choice for a single unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blub Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Yeah Denon works really well with Control4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraydonH Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Denon is my go to. Marantz if you want something higher end. Or Onkyo / Integra are good options as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollerAgent Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Denon - the x4500H would work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be running Triad in ceiling speakers and think some of those are 4 ohm. The Denon be OK with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody chooses a 4ohm speaker based on its nominal impedance or any benefits or otherwise it might offer, they chose the Triad speakers for their audio performance credentials and it just so happens that they are a 4ohm load. A 4 ohm load will tend to draw more power from the amplifier make it work harder. A lot of cheap AVRs do not fare well with low impedance loads as their internal power supply does not have the capacity to deliver the increased power demanded from them. I would imagine most AVRs around the £1500+ make would be perfectly happy with multiple 4 ohm loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control-IT Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I was told that the Triads are power hungry and that I would need separates since a single amp won't have enough power to drive all channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdougray Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 There are so many great speaker manufactures who make ceiling speakers which are 8 ohms and easy to drive (B&W, Kef, Monitor Audio) to name but a few. Have not heard the triads are they that superior in sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casperspooks Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Yamaha was founded in 1887 manufacturing instruments and has been manufacturing HiFi products since 1954. Their products have proven to perform extremely well and have been very reliable for us. We always propose their Aventage line.

I've had nothing but issues with their Avantage line using network control (mind you, they're not the only one). Serial seems fine though, and there's nothing wrong with the equipment quality.

Have not heard the triads are they that superior in sound? They are very good, wouldn't hesitate to put them alongside and even above the ones you mentioned. Whether they are worth their added price is another matter, and really in the 'ear of the listener' as is so often the case with things like receivers and speakers.

Any other commonalities between projects like the network gear used? IP control has been 100% solid for us despite being very skeptical about it at first.Sent using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know but IMO does beg the question why would you consider them over the aforementioned considering the hefty price tag and being difficult ( should say more difficult as correct pairing wouldn't cause issues) to drive. would open up a lot more options on the AVR front. I.E I too love Denon and would endorse the AVR-X4500H but I would not know if it would struggle drive the Triads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already mentioned that at least most if not all of them (I think the soundbar may be an exception) are regular 8Ohm. Nothing difficult to pair at all there. They sound better than most, especially their sealed unit. But it's ALWAYS a matter of opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
