Then you and me, I wanted the silver with wooden speakers (approx 400). I also hesitated with the model in 2 separate elements (+ 500 approx).
Bin less than 300, enjoy the same model if it is black in black (it may not be going with all furniture and all home interiors). My wife says it's sad but frankly, you often look at your chain while listening to music?
At that price you still have a Denon. It changes everything compared to a chain 150. The music is enveloping, you can see all the little subtleties. I do not consider myself a music lover, or even have purchased a chain audiophile but who many approach.
Therefore, if you hesitate because of the aesthetic simplicity, color and the fact that it is a Denon entry, price should convince you ... at least if he remains to this day. And rest assured, it's an entry level but "it has everything a great."
