Denon AVR-X2900H Home Theatre Receiver
This might just be the mid-range AV Receiver we've been waiting for. It follows on from the phenomenally successful AVR-X2800H and rather than reinventing the wheel Denon has chosen to make subtle but worthwhile refinements in the name of sound quality and practicality. The basic version of Dirac Live Room Correction is now available as an option whilst PC gaming support has been enhanced. One of the big changes though is the upgraded 32-bit multi-channel DAC architecture which brings improved imaging, clearer high-frequency detail and more confident low-frequency energy across every channel. Compared to the 2800 the 2900 sounds noticeably richer and larger in scale, while also remaining agile and exciting. Everything feels more layered and detailed, with voices in particular carrying more character. Bass and dynamics have also been improved on the X2900H. Considering its wealth of connectivity options and the power to command a 7.2 or 5.2.2 surround setup with aplomb, the AVR-X2900H appears to be another winner from Denon.
