Denon AVRX2500 is able to give a great sound with amazing bass even in connection with old little speakers.

It gives 80W of power per channel versus Denon AVRX2500’s 95W, but both of them work without any issues with 7.1- and 7.2-speaker systems. Besides, this setup is really easy. For example, you just set “Amp Assign” in the menu to turn the back surround on.
