Come and have a go on this running the Monitor Audio GS60 based surround system. This is a behemoth kraaken of the surround amplifier world, one these rising up from the oceon and getting in the way of a liner would sink that big black and red boat.

This is the newest incarnation of Denon's incredibly succesful 19 series Receivers .... are there any surprises?

The inputs aside from the HDMI have been minimised in acknowledgement of this digital source age, the 1911 has no component video out ... watch out for people with legacy displays. Now the Kawasaki Z750 of the Receiver world.

In case you havn't realised the 11 prefix on a Denon Receivers model number refers to the year of introduction. Typically with all things consumer the model year is several months optimistic of the actual date, thus no doubt to persuade Mr Joe Typical the CE Punter that he's actually getting the model through some sort of time travel process and is thus guarunteed an extra degree of future-proofedness.

This is the HDMI 1.3 all singing surround receiver that is the top of the range for Cambridge Surround products, expect it to have a very good stereo performance.

This is the new model that comes in above the the very succesful AVR2809. This surround receiver incorporates all the desired features of the lower models along with ethernet connectivity, excellent audio properties and Japanese manufacture. The AVR3310 has the classic Denon sound, very firm and tone neutral without the harshness of a Yamaha or the top end fluff of an Onkyo. Set this amplifier up with a pair of appropriate speakers ( Monitor Audio RX6's come to mind ... ) and you will be able to explore uncharted territories of your music and movies.

NADs thumping powerful audio is now coupled with fully spec-ed up processing to make them a complete modern package to carry one into the future of home audio. Through a very clever modular build system, NAD have updated their AV range adding High Definition HDMI video and audio processing including the much sought after Dolby True HD and DTS Master HD audio codecs included. Those shining two letters "H" and "D" on the end of a model number denote the upgraded version.

For many audio-video-philes the surround pre processor is the object of desire for inclusion into their theatre systems, however to possess one that includes the magic numbers of DTS HD and upscaling video has unfortunately required magic numbers of cash as well.

Another of NAD's upgraded HD recievers thrashing out controled and solid sound like your speakers need to be punished for some sort of transgression. Now it can do it in lovely uncompressed Dolby True HD and DTS master HD Blu-Ray audio formats.

This is one big mother of a power amplifier designed to complement the 8003 Pre/Processor:

In order to have a very special offer to make to Australian consumers we have come to an arrangement with Denon Australia to make this combination of Surround Receiver and Blu Ray Player available at a hitherto unprecedented price point. Come and have a go on the AVR4810 running the Monitor Audio GS60 based surround system.

Ahh... Now here's some real amplification. The mighty T785 has been upgraded with NAD's modular HD cards and now has all of the feature set to actually challenge Denon's AVR4308 and it's "CAV Favorite" title.

Arcam came out with their truly spectacular AVR600 last year and basked while the critics showered them in praise. Now they decided to release a slightly cut down version to get it into the hands of more folk than ever. Based on the same high definition AV platform behind the AVR600 and AV888 the brand new AVR500 is aiming to deliver the same high quality audio at a much better price.

This is one of those products that manages to elicit moans on opening ... firstly because of its exceedingly weighty nature ... and then secondly because of the sheer physical beauty of the thing. Unusually for the country that produced the Morris Minor and the Pye Black Box this thing is an aesthetic delight.

This is the new surround big boy for those of you who may aspire to a Denon AVP/POA combination but can't do the Ferrari-esque readies.
The preamp is in the classic Marantz fashion with that retro rounded stying and aside from its totally featured HDMI 1.3 etc it is the first device to stream MPEG 4 video. It looks really good ...

Carlton Audio Visual is pleased to have on demo Arcam's flagship home theatre product. The AV9 Processor is a multi-channel preamplifier and processor without peer.
