A few months ago I was just looking for better sound and tried to join forces by using the pre-amp from my Onkyo with the stronger Yamaha amplifier. There was some improvement, however I still felt the need for an upgrade. My wife just shaked her head and said another one of those black boxes for your collection, my justification: it is Christmas time darling. After reading a large number of reviews even from different countries, I came down to Onkyo's TX-NR808 and this model. For sure Onkyo provides a great value for the money, mainly once prices start dropping, however after reading multiple reviews I had the impression that Denon's AVR-991/3311 would deliver the warmer and more detailed soundstage that I was looking for. Denon's Audyssey setup was a breeze, menus are nice and easy to understand. It was the first...

On my equipment, It sounds appropriate for the price point. It also works with all of the my equipment - including 3D. It hasn't broken yet, seems to stream Pandora ok, and has a handy (albeit slightly clunky) web interface that lets you setup and manage the unit. I have never used the iPod dock (I use Airport Expresses), so cant say anything to that interface. Very satisfied with the purchase.

I mention this because, if you're new to Denon, or aren't good at deciphering detailed instructions, prepare yourself for a new level of tech frustration if you venture beyond the basics. The basic, plug-and-play setup is pretty easy and quick, and should work nicely for a standard config and standard speaker placement. My setup was a bit more complicated, mainly because the speaker placement is non-symmetrical, which caused the auto Audessy calibration to overcompensate the various output levels and crossover frequencies. It did it's job the best it could, but the final product -- the acual playback sound -- was way off and I had to resort to manual calibration with a sound meter. Once everythng was set, the sound quality is second to none! Other pros and cons so far: PROS: Apple AirPlay - dowloaded the $49 upgrade from Denon and can now... Read more |
