    Boring and lifeless

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The build quality is fine and setup is easy enough but the audio quality is disappointing (AVR-X2800H). I had to replace a Harman Kardon from 2006 and by comparison the Denon sounds sterile and boring. Harman Kardon's 40 watts is stronger than Denon's 95, the 2800 will have noticeable audio degradation long before it hits 95w.

      Hello. Not knowing which speakers you have, it isn't easy for us to be certain what the issue might be. The vast majority of those who have detailed their experience with an AVR-X2800H are more than happy with the overall performance. This could be an indication that either your system requires a little more break-in time (3 weeks of regular usage), or the settings may need some attention (we recommend running Audyssey and experimenting with Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ the get the best results from your new purchase), or your speaker load is such that it requires a different model in our line-up. AVR maximum wattage ratings can be useful for offering some idea as to how loud a speaker might go, but sound quality is generally determined by other factors. For more details on how to achieve a successful speaker/AVR pairing, we suggest speaking directly with the manufacturer of either the desired AVR or the speakers. Here is a link to the details on how to select Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ: https://manuals.denon.com/AVRX2800H/NA/EN/GFNFSYphwaueoj.php#OKNRMLviuvfmcr denon

    Solid receiver for 5.1.2

    Upgraded from an Onkyo receiver to get HDMI 2.1 support, which I have not yet tested. I do think surround and ATMOS is more immersive compared to the lower end Onkyo, and everything has works as expected. Audessy will take some time as I havent yet been able to get it sound as good as manual adjustment but that may be due to quirks in my theater room.

    Overall, this is a very good device. There were a couple of things I couldn't figure out (like which poles to connect for the AM antenna), but overall it was pretty good. It could use a more detailed manual. Even an online one that has more details would be good.
