Some of you will know I had a harman Kardon AVR 171 and to be honest it was shit, especially with my monitor silver 2, left and right channels.

So I was browsing the Sevenoaks website, and came across the denon AVR X2200W.

Only had it less then 24 hours, but so far I love it!

And it's a genuine 100 watts per channel.

I can highly recommend it. And it was only £329.
 
Denon have always made quality kits. I did have one (can't recall the model now) but I somehow preferred the sound of my ageing Marantz SR4200.
 
To be honest, my ears are pretty shot to be able to hear anything, let alone tell the difference between 'quality' and 'non-quality' units. I can't actually hear any sounds below 40dB on lower frequencies and below 60dB on higher frequencies.
 
Enjoy the new toy.
It has 7 HDMI inputs which is great but the power output is too much for my ears.
I would be happy to have a good quality AV with only 5W outputs but at least 6 HDMI inputs..

It's a small price to pay, to get my monitor silver 2's working again.

Plus it's also atmos, and with a small tweek To my 7.0 speakers I was able to set it up.

And now my marantz ud7007 now plays the sacd layers on the surround sound :-)

Pink floyd takes on a whole new dimension, when playing the sacd multi channel.

I am still toying with the idea of getting 2 subwoofers.

Nice bit of kit though!
 
What is the actual standby power consumption of the new AV?
It can be quite excessive if you are not careful.

I hope I am not going to spoil your joy, but on the Amazon US website the title reads
Denon AVR-X2200W 7.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD A/V Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Not sure what does this mean.
 
I've noticed that these new 4K LCDs have some hungry power consumption by today's standards anyhow. A lot are only A or B rated and these are big brand makes like LG & Samdung. My 50 inch cheapo full HD T.V. is A++ rated, only 49W consumption, well happy with that power factor.
