Newbie needing advice

[MarkyT288]

Hi guys , could someone please advise which is the better amp to

purchase the STR-DH520 or the STR-DH810 or STR-DH820 I know these are not new amps but I am upgrading my 15 year old set up that still works incredibly well, I can’t at the mo afford a brand new amp but still want a better set up than my 15 year old one. Kind regards. Mark

Hi @MarkyT288

I would have said that only you can decide which is the "better" amp depending on your needs etc. I recommend comparing specifications, reading manuals etc.

Note click on (i) Specifications near the top for specifications or read the manual.
