| tread553's Full Review: Denon AVR-4800 5.1 Channels Receiver |
i sold my denon thx ultra avr 5600 after owning it for 4 years!i sold it on e-bay for 1000.00(these denon receivers hold their value like chevy trucks),inorder to purchase this denon thx ultra avr 4800.after exhaustive research,i subscribe to 7 audio and video publications,and personal experience(i own dt-audio,we specialize in THX ULTRA home theater installations for going on 29 years) i concluded, as did many major audio publications, that denon makes the best receivers!the denon thx ultra avr 5803 was my first choice,but was just too inpracticle cost wise.i settled for the more affordable denon thx ultra avr 4800. i have a large bedroom;28' X 26' X 9'. i was concerned the 4800 would not up to the task of pushing my snell thx ultra multimedia series 500 speakers and twin 18" subs. soon after auditioning STAR WARS 2-ATTACK OF THE CLONES, my fears were put to rest.the sound field generated by this much lighter 125 watts @8 ohms avr 4800,verses the avr 5600 160 watts @ 8 ohms,was equal!bear in mind my system consists of 4 rear surround thx ultra snell series 500 dipoles rated at 86db,not an east load to push.i am completely satisfied with this receiver.and convinced it is the best receiver in the world at its price point..i own 2 other denon receivers;2800,1700,..and for those out there counting the weight of this receiver as a negative trait; weight of audio componets and speakers is a very good barometer as to the quality of any audio products.weight is directly proportional to cost! i was initally concerned about the avr 4800's lighter weight as compared to my denon avr 5600 which was in excess of 60 pounds!!!!!!!!i am no longer!!!!!!
