can i buy a norge amp to begin with to get the hang of music.
I am afraid I have no idea about Norge. It is also quite disappointing that you throw this at the end. All my assumptions were wrong - that were based on what you told me about your requirements. I also read in another thread where Netfreak and Kapvin have tried to help you with similar questions. I also vaguely remember reading somewhere that you are trying to sell your Yamaha RX-V361.
Please be clear about what you want and what your budget is. If you throwing questions just to get some answers, you are wasting our time as well as yours.
I would also request you to put all your questions into a single thread so that we can understand what you want, and answer properly.
Cheers
If your existing AVR has pre-outs, you can use Stereo amplifier with it.
Can you post a picture of AVR's back panel? If it has pre-outs, then its quite straight-forward.
I would suggest you spend a week or so reading some relevant threads before you ask specific questions. Answers to all your questions are already there, including evaluation of all the units that have been discussed in this thread.
If you do that you would be able to ask questions that are more meaningful and more insightful. Otherwise we are just beating in the dark.
Cheers
thanks for the suggestion but its not possible to read through all. i have been trying to read what i can manage but times also critical here as i have a huge professional responsibility. therefore these questions.
anyways i get the point.
Curious to know what you ended up with?
I would suggest for a budget an Onkyo TX-SR608 + Deftech Pro Cinema 1000. Let me know your thoughts.
Add Norge 2060 OR 1000 with Norge spk= 15-20k(total)
Norge is good for entry level.
but do try marantz pm5003 is approx 20k and more musical. first decide speakers. then choosing matching amp and avr accordingly
