mlwang Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Hi I am a newbie here looking at setting up a entry level HT system. I was recommended this combi from a shop at Aldephi, price @ $1400, is it a good buy? Speaker is 5.1 + Subwoofer. Denon AVR1507 seems new, cant find any review on the web, any one has any idea if it is good? Is there any other recommendation for a HT system at this price range? Thanks for your help.
maxngck Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Hi! i think i went to the same store as you.KE* rite? tested out this combi but it seem abit weak on the woofer. or i shld say is weak. the other speakers are not bad. quite clear and crisp. went to other shop and found denon's speaker. tried it out and it seem to be not bad. woofer is much powerful than Mordaunt Short. finally bought avr-1706 wif denon system for $850. will be delivered to me in 3 wks time ;D avr-1507 is a replacement model of avr-1706 which has ipod support. but i think there are some feature not in 1507 model.

evo171 Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Just googled and saw on the Denon USA site that there is actually 1506, 1706 and 1906. Seems like 1506 did not come Spore. They have also posted information for 1507, 1707, 1907 so I believe there should be 1707 to replace 1706... The Mordaunt Short Premier Plus original package is abit weak on the woofer cos its using the smaller 308W (80W). Advice is to chage it to a 309W (150W) woofer for a more satisfying experience.

Max, $850 consist of AVR-1706, and the 5.1 speakers? Where is the shop you purchased? I have PM you some questions, appreciate if you can help to reply.

hcng Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Hi, reviving this thread a bit... I'm keen on the 1507 and Avant Premier Plus combi too... appreciate if anyone can share their comments? Premier Plus comes with MS 309 sub. But the MS 309 and 309i (Latest model) selling the same prices at Audio House.Maybe U can ask for upgrade.I using XR57 and Avant Premier (old model) with MS 309i.
DJQ Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 bros. you should check out the local website on the Denons. http://denonsingapore.com/ the specs for 1507 is really entry level. at only 75Watts rms for each chn, its really good enough for any 1st time buyers. if you are looking at more power then need to check out 1907 which is 85Watts and the 2307 with 100watts and HDMI.
