    This amp receiver delivered the power needed to run my existing speaker system with very good quality sound. But it turned out I did not need it as my old unit was equal to this unit. Returned.

    The sound is much clearer with is receiver. Previously the music would overwhelm the people speaking so we are really pleased. The Geeks delivered it and got it all set up and showed us how to use all the features. All part of Total Tech!!!

    Amazing product. Denon has stepped up on the AVR market. Had to return due to receiver that runs very hot and needs 15 inches of Clearence. I will go with the Marantz slim line instead.
