Pros: Sounds Great, Plenty of Features, Packed With Power Cons: Harder To Use Than Some Other Receivers
The Denon AVR-2801 is one of today's hottest A/V recievers on the market. It has a high MSRP, but you can find it in the $400 price range. Denon is a well respected brand, I consider it to be in the "Big Three" consumer audio companies. Those companies...
Pros: Great quality and value Cons: Takes a while to learn the remote
Introduction
First of all, I do not consider myself an audiophile or an audio/video expert. My main reason for purchasing the Denon AVR-2801 was to build my first home theater system. I wanted something that was affordable and had...
Pros: Multiple inputs and outputs, Denon quality Cons: Flexibility causes a steep learning curve to operate.
I recently went absolutely nuts researching to find a good audio receiver. I kept scouring web sites, tested equipment in stores, read audio and home theater magazines and talked with people. I considered spending more money but then thought about my...
Well, there's no slot for the AVR-1801, so I'm putting this opinion here since if you are looking at the 2801, you are probably looking at the 1801 also. The Denon AVR-1801 is a great performer, and when price is considered it is a fantastic buy. The...
Pros: Excellent sound quality, build quality, durability, and price Cons: Most configurations can only be accomplished with the On-Screen Display OSD.
Back in Dec. 2000, I decided to upgrade my 2 channel stereo system into a home-theater. I figured the receiver and speakers were the biggest factors in a HT setup, so I decided I didn't want to skimp in these areas. I started out searching the net for...
Pros: Powerful, Simple to Use, Ready for all the Newest Consumer Electronic Gadgets Cons: Big in size -- you'll need some space to fit this thing...
Do you think you'll still be using that Watchman at the next decade turn? What about the XBox game unit, bet that will be out of date in 10 years. Not so with this Denon AVR-2801 Dolby Digital/DTS Receiver. It is powerful, simple to set up, ready for all...
Pros: High Power, Great Price, *Incredible sound* Cons: Main features only configurable via TV.
Well, once again I decided to purchase an item from a realm I knew nearly nothing about: AV receivers. I originally went into this whole adventure looking for a complete 5.1 digital system, complete with 5 speakers, subwoofer, and of course, a high-end...
Pros: Unbelievable sound quality, plenty of power, all of this for only $$$$! Cons: Poor ergonomics of remote
I looked at dozens of receivers after reading reviews online and in print. I listened to literally dozens and found the best sound was had by the 2801. It sounded much more transparent than any of the competitors. Many of the others had bright and...
Pros: Great Sound and a all around great reciever Cons: Doesnt have alot of power or features
Hey, this is me again i bought one of these reciever for my uncle about 6 months ago before christmas for his birthday and he uses it everyday so much. I never figured he would like this as much as he does and or use it as much as he does it makes me...
Pros: Sound quality, build quality, DSP options, DPL II Cons: pesky DPL II settings
As you may have noticed, this review is for the Denon 2802 - the new version of the 2801. The major difference is the addition of Dolby Pro Logic II. And I must say this is an excellent addition.
