MSRP 1499.00
Description: Rated Output Power (4 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 0.7%) 140 W + 140 W Rated Output Power (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, THD 0.07%) 70 W + 70 W Power amp construction: discrete UHC-MOS-FET Transistors (new Generation) Single Push-Pull Circuit 100 kHz bandwidth for DVD-Audio and SACD UHC (Ultra High Current)-Single-Push-Pull-Circuit For the past ten years, the dream of power amps has been to support low impedance speakers. Unfortunately, however, the fulfilment of this dream has always been a difficult proposition and Denon eventually felt the need to rethink its approach. The result has been to combine high output power with detailed musical expression, a high grade solution that is the first of its kind. The challenge facing Denon has been to amplify with dynamic strength and absolute clarity the creative energy transmitted by the artist and to keep apace with the ever-changing musical signal levels. A hefty power supply unit with ample reserves and a power amp that is capable of supplying pure, dynamic signals to the speakers so that the music is heard with absolute transparency are the primary requirements. Also required are transient response characteristics that amplify even low level signals with impeccable precision. No matter how superior the dynamic range or the frequency charatistics may be, these features are meaningless if the amp cannot instantly follow the sudden rises and falls in sound.

Summary:
This is a great amp. High quality components and circuitry have been used to achieve highly detailed, analytic and warm sound. It,s not everyday that an Hi-Fi company of reputation launches an stereo amplifier of audiophile quality at relatively moderated price... From delicate pianissimos to great orchestra fortissimos this amp will thrill you again an again in your listening room. The sound it produces is detailed, warm and with tight and precise bass. The voices sound amazing and the soundstage is wide...

The construction is superb. The front panel and all the buttons are made of .aluminium. The gold plated speaker terminals are top-notch quality. Weighting near 15 Kg this amp is built like a rock. Highly recommended.

Strenghts:

Weaknesses:
None at this price.
