everyone should note this does not test out at 125watts in 5 or 7 channel mode. i have now read 4 reviews who all tested actual power output and it drops drastically in 5 or 7 channel mode. i think ill pass.
Wow now that is sad. I have an older AVR2600 and it definitely does NOT have power drops like that. True it’s only 65 watts RMS per channel and I use it only in 5.1 to start with but this unit drops below that significantly. And while the high current output would help a bit in actual transient handling it still appears that this is not the design of choice for many of us. I miss the days when Harman Kardon was right up there with their Citation series stuff and still affordable for the masses.
Does Denon make a better receiver than Onkyo or Harman Kardon? I’ve heard that Denon is superior to almost any other home A/V receiver. What’s the word on that?
