Review 2 of 29

Price Paid:  $200.00 from Olum's

Summary:
I have owned this Denon receiver for four years and it still rocks. I ahve used it to power tow sets of Paradigm speakers, namely the goliath power 90P's. These floor standing speakers have dual built in powered subs so I only use the denon pre-out which does an outstanding job of providing earth shattering base on the paradigm's. The under-rated 55watts per channel put sony and pioneer (have never touched either) to shame who list receivers with 150watts of power which couldnt eeven jog in the same race as the denon. I have turned this thing up so loud that my neighbors down the block can hear it. 55watts? Denon is pretty sweet, I would highyl recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive high-end receiver with good features. I have only used it in 2 channel so I cannot say anyhting about the surround capabilities, but I am sure they are fgood as well. I am now a Denon fan and contemaplting newer, better recivers to power my syste. HAve also used with Paradigm mini monitor 3's and they sounds geeat also. Highs, mids and lows are all represented equally. Could use some more bass thumping there, but I may jsut be used to the dual powered subs. a GOOD BUY.

Strengths:
Power, reliability, sound quality.

Weaknesses:
None I ahve experienced.

Similar Products Used:
This receiver is perfectly mated to paradigm speakers, especially the powered ones.

Review 3 of 29

Price Paid:  $275.00 from Cash Converters

Summary:
This Reciever by denon is an upscale model. The reason for this is the 6channel in. I dont personal use this but it's nice to know its there. It has lots of digital soundfields and has Dolby Pro Logic Decoding

Strengths:
65x5 very high (peak) 60 RMS. DSP (digital Signal Processing)

Weaknesses:
NO BASS but pre-out for Sub woofer on back. The reason for this is because what the hell is Surround Sound with no sub-woofer!!! come on Basics people

Review 4 of 29

Price Paid:  $500.00 from HIFIKLUBBEN (A hifistore in Denmark)

Summary:
This amp really rocks!! I have builded a small homecinema with dvd. I have plugged the internal dekoder from the dvd into the 6.ext on the receiver, and I must say I´am impressed. The sound is very clear and quite powerfull. I have also plugged my sony playstation into it, and now it´s totally cool to play Gran Turismo 2. So i you have this amp. and a playstation, then connect those things together, and chose the 5 channel stereo on the amp.
Anyway the DDSC-A on this baby gives the sound a more clear mid tone especially i DOLBY PRO LOGIC!!
I can only recommend one thing. Don´t buy sony, yamaha, onkyo. Buy denon!!

Strengths:
Very strong (5x65 RMS 8 OHM). Pre-outs. 6.ext in. Sounds great in mid and high tone. Many features!!

Weaknesses:
A week bass if you don´t have a powered sub, like I do!

Similar Products Used:
Sony surroundsound receiver (I can´t remember the model)

Review 5 of 29

Price Paid:  $243.00 from The Wiz

Summary:
I picked this receiver up for $243 (three year warranty included) at the The Wiz on a clearance sale. When I saw the price I couldn't pass it up. I had been using an Onkyo TX-SV343 Pro Logic receiver. I was happy with the Onkyo, however, it acted up one too many occassions and successfully blew my sub. It also didn't provide a 6 channel input which the AVR-1400 does (a big plus in my book, since I have been sitting on the AVD-2000 for a year without being able to use it). I am using Wharfedale Modus-8 speakers which again I am happy with, but they do seriously lack in mid range. The Onkyo did not do anything to help this (crystal clear highs and tight bass, but no mid range) leaving my listening experience sorely lacking in the mid range. So, I hooked up the Denon, and Wow, I am a changed man. My brother has been swaring by Denon for years, and I never payed attention to him. Well, he was right, the Denon has provided my system with an all new level of clarity and, damnit, mid range! So far, the best receiver I have ever owned (but if you look above you will see my others were all pretty much clunkers). When I make my first million, I will move into the wonderful world of audiophile, but for now I am very happy with this receiver. It has provided my ears with an all new listening experience both musically and theatrically. I have to give it a five for value since I paid so little for it, and I hate to give it a five overall, since I believe it is missing a few features and 5 is supposed to be perfection. I feel it is better than a four, though (how about a 4.5), so I will give the five.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
