Dentons

All those brands and their entry level products are going to be bright sounding products. Not warm like you want. And yes, to get to better sounding products, you usually need to go up to the next series up (from entry level). Take a look at e.g. Wharfedale Linton Heritage (EAC review), Wharfedale S

Hi there! I also like the Denton 80th, even if they don't have the most neutral sound and some other shortcomings. One of those is that they have some noticeable directivity errors from about 600Hz upwards (mids, upper mids) all the way into the highest treble regions (20kHz). See frequency response

Glad you’re enjoying it! And that you love it! I did my homework and already have the step down converter and even a capacitor kit to freshen her up again. I splurged on a Hana ML moving coil for the living room system (Technics SL-1700) so the V15 III SAS will go on the Denon system in my bedroom.

The Erres 1312 is a rebadged Philips 312 AFAIK worth anywhere from €60~€130 depending on condition. The Denon UDRA-70 is nothing to write home about. It's a small class D amp from a shelf midi/mini system. It looks nice enough; impressive even, but Class D in this form factor is more about saving sp
