@uhoh7541 7 месяцев назад

4500 owner since jan 20 and still love it. Only thing that has me eyeing new receivers is being able to add more height channels. 2 things- those external amps will wake your speakers up plus make your AVR last longer. Also I'd look at some cooling fans or an aircom, the cooler running temp will keep that 4700 kicking a$$ for a lot longer. Hot temp is my only complaint about the 4500.

A major strength of your A/V videos (IMO) was discussing return on investment for items and photography equipment is just like audio equipment investment wise. Often one item 3x the price of another barely outperforms the more budget friendly choice- if at all. Would look forward to that, assuming it's something you'd enjoy.

This is the first time i've contacted an American site and it may well be the only time... but.... Usually our prices over here in the UK tend to be more (generally) than with you in the US... never the less. Three months ago I purchased the Denon AVC-X8500HA new in silver (which is an amp over here and not a receiver therefore no tuner) for £2,249. You can work out the £ to $ conversion due to fluctuations in the exchange rate, but either way that's a very good price. It was bought from a main dealer by the way and it's not a refurbished or a "seconds" unit but boxed and brand new with a six year guarantee.

@seanclancy5785 4 месяца назад

The X1800H you show is not a US/ Canadian model. The US/Canadian model comes with Front Pre outs, making it more versatile than the 2800 in some respects. Adding a 100W amp to run just the front channel speakers is a very nice bonus. This model unfortunately does not have the Audessy XT32, but neither does the 2800.

@MunKeeButt67 7 месяцев назад

I was looking at the x1800, but I think the x2800 would be better but because room is right next to neighbour, I ended up getting a Samsung q600b soundbar with 9200s rears. It has a upfiring pair of front speakers, which I feel only produce processed front l+r but the overall sound is well enough for a lounge. 30 maximum for most films. The woofer only hits from about 40hz, and I crave deeper bass. But it is a very good sounding system. One day!!! 🙃

@Jonas-df1lb 6 месяцев назад

Thank for the reviews!!! So I'm about to purchase 2 Klipsch RP6000F II and want to fire them with the 3800H - Sub will be a RP1200 SW Most of the time I will listen to music only, wether through the eARC from the TVs spotify, my smartphone spotify via Bluetooth or the built in Denons spotify. I want to bi-wire / bi-amp the Speakers, so my question is how the Watt output of the denon will be? denon wiring guide suggests to use the "sourround back" channels to bi-amp/wire the speakers - so will there be 1 amp per channel? 105W at the highs and 105W at the lows?

@TriAmpHiFi 6 месяцев назад

Whew Jonas!......... slow down fellow audiophile. There's a lot here. Perhaps some more time sifting through what's important to you or not. Please consider that a good stereo system & a good home theater system ARE mutually exclusive. One can have either, but not both. Check the specs too. As a HT A/V receiver, the Denon 3800H fails with a frequency response of -3dB @ 20Hz to 20KHz because it can't handle any subwoofer frequencies below 20 (really 30). As a stereo receiver, the Denon 3800H fails because when used in a 2 channel mode, the distortion skyrockets. The one semi-exception............. is to use that "excrement" brand's surround processor. It's the only way to sit on the fence without it being so uncomfortable. Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉 🔊

@Cenkolino 7 месяцев назад

I advice against 7.1.6 because there is a video of some guy who actually does the mastering of movie theatre films to 4K UHD BluRays and he says the best configuration for your home is a 9.4.4 because having 6 speakers on top makes the top layer too crowded and not spacious. You can easily locate the mid top speakers. He also said the front-wide channels do help a lot with the base layer being more atmospheric and closer to the theatre experience. So go 9.2.4 or if you have the space to use 4 subwoofers for optimal bass saturation.

@anone3842 Месяц назад

I don't think the wide channels even get used most of the time because they only get used by Atmos processing if the Atmos sound objects are panned from front to side surround speakers... if they use static objects... which almost all movies do only - then any objects on front or surround channels will *never* be played on the wide channels at all - I think Ealan Osbourne even had video about this, where he found nothing coming out of his wide channels at all for many movies. And this mastering guy saying don't use top middle? Even TechnoDad here showed in his test audio videos that they are much better than a blank space in middle, so...not sure the mastering guy knows what he is talking about, or how the home systems work!

What the hell - how can Denon justify the same upgrade model for over £1,400 (double) previous model??

Just go into the menu->manual setup-> speakers-> assign -> select each speaker and click left or right button where it says pre out (this option totally disconnects the Amplifier of that channel and will provide 3.5volts of power via RCA outputs. You need to use RCA outputs from your AVR.

Hey I got a dennon 4700 is the 4800 a step up, I'm running 4 sub configuration. Will it be better to just use my mini dsp to to align my 4 subs or get the 4800 and just let dennon configure it for me. Thank u.

Hi! I would stay with your X4700H. If you already have it working, then there really is no reason to upgrade.

Hi Edog! Yes, they fixed that issue with the newer X3800H, which is on sale right now for decent price, but still…you’re buying a new AVR - amzn.to/3NshWlx - I am using the X6700H and only using the one 8K port but I am getting the three port switcher box that Denon released, the AVS-3 - amzn.to/41pM4no - you could use this if your x3700H has the fixed chip inside.

I have the 6700h, is it worth considering a 6800h? I currently run 7.1.4 in a reasonably sized living room (with a couple of minor compromises). I have an LG 77” G2 with a Apple TV 4K and PS5 and I was thinking a better upgrade path for me would be to get the Emotiva BasX A3 to power my front 3 channels. I’m starting to collect a few 4K blue rays so probably going to get a decent dedicated 4K Blu-ray player as well.

@wmiles999 7 месяцев назад

Same with me, I have the 6700h. I don't see enough differences to spend the huge chunk of change. I'm considering the BasX A3 as well to step into separates and that is much cheaper. I plan to add 2 more atmos "7.1.6" so since the 6700h can already process that there isn't really a need for another receiver.

subs are pre-out and they don't count toward your regular channels. Hence 9.4 (.4 is number of subs) 11.4 if you included the 2 none-amp channels.

Hi Just stumbled across your video... Would it make sense to upgrade from an Denon Avc x5200 to a 3800/4800? Does the latest models deliver "better" Atmos sound? I have a 5.1.4 setup. Thx

@easyTargeT70 Месяц назад

...I mean better because of better processing..?

@TechnoDad Месяц назад

That's a tough thing to say. I don't think there would be any difference about the Atmos experience between the two AVRs...I think the overall experience would be very similar. There is probably a different DAC in the newer models due to the DAC fire a few years back. It's really hard to say...

@audiodynamicsmaxsolutions 4 месяца назад

Would require more information about what speakers you are using. The denon x3x00h series can provide 42watts (multitone frequency) at 4ohm load, 28.5watts(multitone frequency) at 8ohm load. both rated with 9ch driven. For cinema 60 just add 10watts extra to the aforementioned power rated. If you need dirac then can go for cinema60 if dirac isn't much of an importance then going for 3500h would be better than 2800h.

@Mediamarktfreak in that case, I would advice you to purchase used x3500h avr or if you are into dirac room correction system then cinema 60 would be worth.

Well build for the price. Klipsch would be better speakers for that AVR ( as this avr can handle those speakers a lot more efficient and effortless than other speakers)the amplifer section on onkyo, Pioneer, Integra is little weaker than denon and marantz. You also get an advantage of dirac. If that's important for you.

Arcam having insane price but nothing out of ordinary etc etc. I'm thinking Yamaha A6A for now.
