Summary:I just recently replaced my Yamaha RX-V2090 reciever with the Denon AVR-3600(no DTS model). I run the the reciever with a pair of Paradigms Studio Ref 100's(mains), matching Studio Ref CC, and a pair of Paradigms Ref LCR 450's in the rear. I use Paradigms PW-2200 12 inch sub for that added kick on movie soundtracks. The first thing that I noticed is that the denon had a softer sound(the same softer sound noticable in a tube amplifier). This characteristic really adds to the smooth sound of a rich jazz, or blues recording. This denon has no problems dealing with the low load charateristics of my Studio 100's, and has a very large power reserve for hi dynamic movie recordings ( or HDCD recordings ). Denons 5ch stereo DSP mode allows for the full use of my expensive and fully capable rear speakers. All in all, the Denon AVR 3600 is an amazing purchase(for $750) for any audio enthusiast, and for that matter any audio phile. I would definatly purchase a denon receiver again.
The Bose 901 is a stereo speaker that connects to a receiver such as the Denon AVR 3600, which provides power to drive the speaker system. Both Bose and Denon manufacture high-end components that consistently receiver favorable reviews from audiophile publications and websites such as Audio Review, praising the sound quality. Both components are equipped with color-coded twist-knob terminals for connecting speaker wires.
