Hey,

Setup:

KEF R11 Meta

Denon AVC-X8500H

SVS PB16 Ultra

~2.5–3.5 m listening distance, open living room

Use: 50% HT / 50% music (rock, electronic, vinyl + streaming)

Problem:

Stereo sounds a bit flat / lacks body and punch.

Considering:

Rotel Michi X3

Hegel H390

Advance Paris A12 Apex

or just adding a power amp to the Denon

Question:

Which option would give the best improvement for this setup?

Is a power amp the better route vs integrated?

Thanks!
