Q: Anyone who actually has one of these. Are you able to stream Pandora/Sirius through the receiver?
A: Although we haven't done it yet, you can choose internet radio in the settings, as well as bluetooth and connect via usb. You will need the HEOS app to stream. Per the website: The HEOS app puts multiple streaming services in the palm of your hand, ready to play on your AVR or any devices on your HEOS network! Enjoy music from Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn Internet radio, Amazon Prime Music, iHeart Radio, Sirius XM, Sound Cloud, Tidal, Napster or Deezer*, or use the HEOS app to stream tunes or whole albums from your phone, USB stick, or computers and NAS drives on your home network. Whatever you want to hear, access it directly from the HEOS app, complete with support for favorites and playlist functions. Hope that helps.
Q: How many of the HDMI ports are for 4k?
A: I purchased this receiver elsewhere as BB did not have it in stock yet. All the HDMI's are 4k HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 compliant. I have a 7.2.4 Atmos system with this receiver, a 2 channel amp and a Sony 940D that I got at BB. Roku 4 Ultra and Samsung UHD player all run 4k HDR.
A: Just do not connect the FL, FR, and Center speakers to the binding posts. Set the Amp Assign parameters to the desired surround setup (5.4.2, 7.4.2, 11.2, etc.) and connect the surround speakers to the appropriate binding posts (there is a displayed configuration for these connections).
A: Yes, the receiver can decode a 7.2.4 signal but only has nine power amplifiers. The other two channels must be fed to an external amplifier.
Q: can it power a 5 foot tall twin 15 inch speaker tower that has a horn tweeter.
A: I'm sure it could power those speakers, but the questions is will it provide enough. Are they efficient? With 4 fifteen inch drivers and two horns I'm guessing they need some decent power to run them properly. If you don't need all the channels of amplification in this receiver, and if the receiver offers the option to bridge channels that might be your best bet.
A: The Denon AVR-X4300H Supports 3 Zones (2 are digital). I have a living room TV, Speakers and TV on my Patio, and Speakers in a separate Billiards room. There is equipment required to facilitate multi-room; multi-source configurations. The ARV-X4300H is the device that can run this kind of configuration. Be prepared to have a pre-Amp to run remote speakers and HDMI extenders to run distances over 35 feet. Great features, but some issues. the firmware is not ready for primetime. Issues like http interface has not been deployed. Some of the Auto on events cause all zones to display a black screen. Turning the unit off and on seems to fix these occasional issues. You'll need some expertise on how managing zones work before you purchase. If your comfortable with a little management this AVR is awesome! This unit has great potential, it should be great early next year.
