Reports

  • The built-in electronics are of the finest. The soundstage is always pleasing and very detailed at any volume. This receiver can take on any of today's red pen castrated receiver!
  • High performance phono amplifier; former top of the line model and one of the most powerful receivers Denon has ever built.
  • Top-of-the-line speakers, such as the Infinity Kappa 8.2 i Series II, go very well with this receiver. Top-of-the-line headphones are recommended, such as the STAX SR-44
