    Replacing a 4700 unfortunately. Quieter turn on and off. Similar sound quality and dynamics as the 4700 but the Dirac Live availability is what drew my attention. Way more expensive option but cant argue with the results! Dirac and this Denon are a great match.

    Second Denon, I have owned. 4800 Blows my old 23 year old reciver away. Hooked to 25 years old Boses and 1 Sub. Bought Klipish Atmos height speakers and used the Calibration system that came with 4800. All I can say is WOW. What a system to match with my LG G4. Awesome !!!

    For the price this is the best mid-range receiver before the high-end models. The 4800 is the sweet spot that doesn't disappoint. I ran 5.1.4 with SVS Speakers and it sounds great. If you are bi-amping or need the extra channels I would suggest a higher model or buy separate amp to power the remaining two channels. Personally, I prefer to have it all in one box (AVR) which is less complicated for me.

      Hello. Thank you for detailing your findings with the AVR-X4800H. It's a model packed with convenience and value, offering a heavy hint of the high end models without the high-end pricing. denon

    This receiver replaced a 15 year old Marantz as I wanted to upgrade capabilities. I needed the new receiver to handle 4K video and wanted the dialog enhancer. It was easy to set up, performs fine, I purchased when it was on sale, and I like it.

    I've been a Denon customer for many years. This unit is top notch for features. I have it set as a 7.2.4 system using another amp for the additional 2 channels. Set up is a breeze. I highly recommend this unit.

    This replace ( though my old Denon bought in 1983) still worked great. I just could not build a system around it. So many, yes! many years later this my purchase to last another 40+ years. Now building an audio & video system around this is largely more then - who knows, I'm still exploring...

    I was between this and the AVR-X3800H. I decided on this for the additional power and due to the fact that it is built in Japan with supposedly higher grade components. I hope this choice pays off in the long run. As of now, I have no complaints. It effortlessly powered my THX-465IW monoliths which are 4 ohm nominal. Just make sure to apply the 4 ohm setting in the receiver.

    Outstanding unit. Last Denon I purchased was 20 years ago before I finally retired it. Repurchase of another Denon indicates my satisfaction.

    A great receiver! It has a very powerful sound and extended bass presence. This receiver made our home theater experience come alive. The 4800 replaces a 10 year old Denon we really enjoyed and which was top-of-the line at the time. The added technology along with superior sound puts this receiver at the top!

    Absolutely stunning. Thats the review. It was an immediate step up in clarity and quality from my Denon AVR-X3200W (2016). I would strongly suggest it for the beautiful rich sound and quality craftsmanship.
