So far I am pleased... I know this is a bad time to be buying a receiver being that we are on the verge of proper HDMI 2.1 receivers coming out. But I needed something to replace my other garbage one I had previously. It was an entry level Onkyo which I purchased on BB as well but it just wouldn't play nice with my newly acquired LG C1 65". Anyways got tired of trying to make it work properly and went on BB and looked for the best sub 699 receiver that I could get right away. Well this one was the only free overnight one and it just happened to have a lot of the features I was looking for. ~ Arc/eArc works without any fiddling along the LG C1 TV. ~ 7.2 with the option of running Bi-Amp fronts. Since I am a 3.1 guy this was a nice feature to utilize that amp a little bit more. ~ Enough inputs for all my devices including proper phone input for the wife record player, something the Onkyo did not have. ~ Nice calibration even though I changed a lot of the settings after. ~ And overall clean look receiver. I have paired it with a pair of Klipsch RP600, a RP600C center and R100SW sub. Sounds short of amazing being that I upgraded from some white van speakers I got some 10 years ago... I did only pay 50 bucks only and they weren't bad just meh. But this receiver gives this speaker a nice lively sound compared to the Onkyo. It may be just in my brain but once I bi-amped the speakers along with going from the built in preamp to the receiver phono preamp the wife record player just sounds amazing. Anyways solid receiver. Feature packed and if you in need for a receiver right now and you can't wait then this receiver will work superbly. Works perfectly with the LG C1 TV.

Love my 2013 Denon AVR-X1000, and needed to replace my Yamaha RX-A7000 from 2008. So this is what I chose. The AVR-X1600H sounds great and is more dynamic in a movie theater than the old Yamaha it replaced. Now the User Interface for on screen setup looks dated, but it works and is very similar to the X1000 that I already own. So it was easy to setup for me. Sounds great…not disappointed at all with my decision to purchase a 2019 model in 2021.
