bug: not necessarily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not presently convinced that your Denon is performing to specs, as I understand the specs. It very well could be that your Denon is power limiting on instantaneous music peaks. John posted the testing criteria of only 2 channels tested at full power for 5 minutes. Well, you have 5 channels! Or, is it 7 channels? Anyhow, you could be power supply limited.

I really don't like that way of testing a multi-channel receiver. There ought to be a test with ALL channels driven at the same time.

If you are limited by the Denon power supply or something in the Denon, then the monoblocks will have a BIG difference.

Something else to think about on this thread.
