Denon - IN-Command Series 665W 7.2-Ch. With HEOS 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver - Black

This will be my 2nd Denon receiver and they just keep getting better, like the WiFi connectivity and the 4K pass thru. I could have gotten the next level up with a little more power to drive my infinity speaker system but it does a well enough job for me....

Replaced a 15 year old Denon with the 2500, works great and the on screen setup was simple. Very happy.

I was hesitant to purchase this based on a few mixed reviews, but after comparing the specs of many models from a range of manufacturers, I took the Denon plunge. First off, I'm an audiophile of sorts, and have been using medium to high-end receivers since the 1980s. Substandard audio can literally hurt my ears, so my expectations were fairly high to begin with. Setup: straight forward, the Audyssey speaker calibration tool is fun and works great! Sure it takes a few minutes of moving the mic around, but the TV interface is easy to follow and automated speaker calibration was worth the time. Features: read the specs, exactly what it says. Joining the home network was a breeze, 4K blue-rays played instantly, pairing with Bluetooth took a few minutes, but then streaming music from a smartphone was great! All-in-all a very user friendly device. Sound and display quality: Top notch! Some say it's a little under powered, but this is solved by adjusting the source input levels for each device. No voice synch probs at all during 4K play, and although I've only tried it in 5.1, it sounds nearly as good as my 7.2 setup downstairs (this is in the loft for the kids). I'm going to add a couple of rear surrounds during the next Klipsch sale because I expect it'll sound even more massive! Music playback: Awesome! I heard that Denon was better at movies while another leading company was better at music, but this receiver kicks in both departments, and all through bookshelves and subwoofer! Go figure! Games: my boy's WiiU sounds killer in surround sound! In summary, for a sub $1K receiver, you could definitely do a lot worse! I'm totally satisfied and the only remaining checkbox is if it stands the test of time. Fingers are crossed!

Heard of Denon, but never considered the brand before. Bought this Denon receiver so that we could receive 4K UHD content on our new 4K tv. Our old Yamaha was fantastic, but was older technology. Along with a few other changes to our system, this receiver has, so far, demonstrated excellent service as well. I especially like the pass-through feature that allows satellite content to be displayed without the receiver being on. In pass-through mode, the tv speakers are automatically used. If we want surround sound, we just turn on the receiver, and the sound comes out of our speaker system.

All the features of a new home theater receiver can be a little overwhelming, but the Denon AVR-X2500H does a good job of walking you through the setup process. It'll take a while to decipher all of the features, but once you do you'll have a receiver that offers clear, crisp sound and reliable, multi-zone operation. We got this one on closeout, and it was a good bargain. On the plus side: it lets you play the same music in all zones from a digital input--something not all receivers can do, as we discovered. On the down side: it only supports the plain old ARC standard, not the new eARC, which allows you to pass uncompressed PCM sound from your TV back to the receiver. Using regular old ARC, this receiver can still pass Dolby 5.1 from TV to receiver, and that's good enough for us.

Bought this to replace a very good classic Hk avr350 I had for years... I needed an upgrade and this was the best Ovaral for what I needed I was literally blown away at what It sounded like super rich and loud!! Just the way I like it i was not expecting to get such great sound I was also going to upgrade my speakers as well A classic infinity alpha 50 fronts alpha 37c center & alpha 25es rears no need for that the Denon revamped my speakers over night! Truly one of my best buys yet and to compensate it all I bought an LG 65 Oled C8 I'm one happy customer

Price matched this a while back for an amazing deal! Denon quality is top notch! Audio is great and I prefer the sound over Pioneer which I also considered (too boomy and not as crisp for me). Future proof features work great, however, the ALLM feature does not seem to be working. It did initially but not after a firmware update. Small thing that I am pursuing with Denon. Overall, great receiver, especially at the price break given! Highly recommended!

I upgraded to this unit after my Pioneer Elite crapped out after just over 2 years of use. First thing I noticed was that it just sounded so much better. I also like that it came with twice the factory warranty length as the Pioneer. I can tell that it was made with much better components. Setup was a breeze. I dont like the phone app as much as the Pioneer app but it's not something I use all that much. I have a logitech Harmony remote that integrates perfectly with the system. This is my first Denon purchase and so far I'm very impressed.
