Denon's uncompromising all-in-one soundbar. If you're at all a HiFi enthusiast and have listened to soundbars, you'll know that there is much to be desired in terms of audio quality. For the neatness below a TV and the convenience of streaming built-in, they are still popular options. For many of our clients who admittedly are more audiophile than layman Australian, this model of soundbar are the only soundbar units that we'll recommend. And even then, they normally get put into a kids Rumpus room or other secondary entertainment system.

This is a rare amplifier and Rab's favourite. A classic, Japanese built elegant monster. We believe this is the only one in Australia.

It has sat in Rab's favourite demo room for many years and he has in particular loved its pairing with a set of Monitor Audio Platinum 500s. As we're moving around our demo rooms a little, it's time to find a good home for this chiseled jaw beauty...

The extension in the bass that this amp can produce is incredible and its mids are smooth and mellow. The highs are agile, brilliant but not harsh.

This is a whole different ball game from the commonly available Denon amps. It was a classic as soon as it came out of the factory.

For a lot of people, a slim soundbar that delivers clarity and depth to the sound without encompassing the whole entertainment space is a perfect solution. For many of our customers who err on the side of audiophile fanaticism, it's perhaps more appropriate for a kids rumpus room or secondary entertainment space that is used less often.

The Denon soundbars are good for what they are but make no mistake, a soundbar will never beat a complete Home Theatre setup.

For many family entertaining areas having good for movies and the occcaisional big screen gaming is important but they're not willing to spend thousands on an amplifier to deliver the very best. 

This is where the AVR-X1800 is perfect. It has the flexibility to do either one room with 7 channels (two channels of dolby atmos!) or a traditional 5 channel system with a zone 2 on some outside speakers or set up in another room.

All this with the power to run even some quite challenging loads. Ie. inefficient speakers!

Music streaming is built-in and ready to go along with Bluetooth and a plethora of other features. For a full feature list see the official Denon website here

All the family fun without a hefty pricetag!

The brand new Denon AVC-X6800h is here. With all the features of the new Denon range including four (4!) independently controllable subwoofers, the latest in Audyssey room correction software ready to go and options for Dirac Live to be loaded.

Not only that, this is a unit that is made in the Japanese factory. This means better componentry and better quality testing. You can feel the difference in a Japanese made unit when you take it out of the box for the first time. They are more solid with less give in the chassis, there is no greasiness on the metal finish, the knobs rotate precisely and smoothly, the buttons have a solid and confident tactility.

The AVC-X6800 has a cleaner sound, more power and more grip than the smaller models. It's all about the current delivery and ability to handle the reactive impedance load imposed on the output stage by good quality loudspeakers.

The point of the photographs in front of the Hume Dam in full font is that this unit has a large reservoir of power, and that it is capable of delivering high peak current on demand with very pure low distortion power.

This series of Denon amps are famed for their tonal neutrality and their ability to meet the peak headroom demands of complex and dynamic cinema soundtracks and musical pieces.

The AVCX6800 has pure preamp mode wherein the internal amplifiers can be fully disconnected from the preamp stage, this allows for the cleanest preamp out operation up to 4v rms.

Herewith below an excellent video description of the 6800 from the US product trainer:

A really solid 50 RMS per channel amplifier with the excellent Australian incepted Heos streaming engine built in. This amplifier is very high value for very sensible coin ... a classic darlington transistor output stage with good current makes for an amp with excellent grip and control great at bringing difficult speakers to heel.

Another exciting new offering from Denon as the replacement of the AVC-X4700.  Actually it dosn''t really look that exciting, in fact it looks exactly the same as the other Denon'amplifiers from the last thirty three years that we have been selling them. The good thing ... the really good thing about this do everything amp, is that it carries that cusp of technologies that will carry a potential owner for another ten or fifteen years of ownership . Without having to replace an amp every fifteen years because it has outdated HDMI switching, or a urine weak power supply that breaks down at every voltage surge. This is an amp that will go the distance.

This unit is crafted in the Japanese factory of Denon, their premium factory in Shirakawa. The AVC-X4700H did not have this luxury and the move over to Japan prompted a complete redesign of the unit's internal structure. They now use a Monolithic Amp Layout as opposed to a vertical layout. Solid heat sinks and a more discreet amplifier module design for much superior clarity and definition are instantly recognisable in this new design. See the attached images of the internal amp module output stages of the 4700 opposed to that of the 4800.

This unit will also come with the option to have 4 subwoofers each independently controllable, as with the AVC-X3800H. And the optional addition of Dirac live as well.

This CD player is a solid performer. There are no plastic bits in this CD player - it is made out of real metal. Reliable and clear sounding unit at an affordable price point.

This is our budget sacd player. SACDs are a special type of CD that stores more information on them than ordinary CDs. They store the music in DSD format so instead of taking little slices of the music very quickly and piecing it back together into an analogue sound wave at the other end, it stores the whole nice analogue sine wave.

This makes them more musical, less digital sounding.

It's a great option to have on a CD player to be able to read the full SACD layer but it normally comes with a hefty (above $5K price tag).

There can be only one and this is the current evolutionary pinnacle of single box multichannel home theatre amplifiers. Carlton Audio Visual had a terrific relationship with the original Denon AVCA1SE that was a 29kg five channel x 170 watt super amplifier from the year 2000. Now its 2023 and we have the only fifteen channel x 210 watt with 4 independent XLR and RCA subwoofer outputs. The amplifier is made in Shirakawa in Japan which is actually fittingly not far from the Kure Naval Arsenal where the flagship 65000 ton Battleship Yamato was constructed in 1941 ... with nine 18 inch guns the Yamato is a perfect analog for the AVCA1H. The AVCA1H has the largest power supply ever in the history of Denon theatre amps... the main transformer weighs 11.5 kg whereas the previous model AVCX8500 had a transformer weighing in at 8.1kg Learn More

This humble little injection moulded moulded belt drive P Mount fully automatic turntable is a nostalgia trip back to my early retailing days in the seventies. Yet it still sells through several times a week. A very neat device with switcheable built in Phono stage that can be plonked into a modern system and reintroduce you to the joys of vinyl.

I'm always surprised by this amplifier. It is a serious performer and with real heft and grit to it. It can drive hard loads easily where other units in this pricepoint fall over. It's also not a harsh sound. Yes, it's forward and lively but it's involving and musical nevertheless.

On the floor and ready to listen to.
