I plan to upgrade to a 7 channel HT system and for the electronics I can't decide between a high-end receiver or mid-fi separates. I'm torn between the Denon AVR-4802 and the Adcom GFA-7607 power amp and GTP-860 pre/pro. Let me know what you think.Thanks.........TBG
You might want to check out www.avsforum.comI know several folks with Denon receivers who love them...I even bought a Denon 3300 for my Dad's HT system, which has worked fine for two years. No reliability issues whatsoever.
I haven't heard the Adcom gear, but I tend to favor separates. (I already have a high end tuner in my 2 channel system.) However, for convenience, an all in one system using a Denon receiver could be dandy.
If I were shopping, I'd also check out components from Outlaw Audio: they seem to be very good bang for the buck.

They both used to make good gear. Denon went mass market and Adcom went to China. I still find Adcom very satisfactory for non critical listening. I have had adcom gear in my system off and on for 20 years and currently have a GFA5400 amp driving my rear speakers, Aerial 5's. Try to buy from a local dealer that is authorized to service adcom. You may need his services. And having said that, Denon got a bad rep a couple of years ago for making unreliable gear.

Jimmy James:As alternatives to the specific Denon and Adcom products mentioned in my earlier post, what would you recommend within the same general price range?
