We don't get such deals here in Canada.

Got the same receiver. You can switch ohm rating to match speakers.

actually, the x1500h is a better value lolz

@@PaoXiong86 maybe he got it at a special price like most sane people. Lo-stfu

Michael Livingston Audyssey is amazing tech. And my version is ca.2009. Really helps a bad room.

Marntz and denon is it possible to run two AV receiver at once ? Please help me.

same here

Definitely better than the onkyo?

Great stuff!! All that remains of that legacy is the name.

I use Polk speakers with my Denon Ar791

I use Boston Acoustics , Pioneer and klipsh , It's not necessary to use the same brand on all your speakers , I have the same X2400h if you want an advise use only 5.1 or 5.2 like me and delete the Atmos speakers , in Amp options select zone 2 and then turn off zone 2 what happens , well the denon turn aside all the Amp power to main zone , the volume power increase twice is amazing , and Another advise if you tower has a passive crossover set the volume in -12 , why ? Because you eliminate all the noise and interference of the amplification . See you.

felix flores thank you!

I have a Denon x2400 great Receiver. I just stepped up to the x6500h and full Klipsch RP series 7.2.4 :).

@@felixflores5225 i listened polk T 50 on youtube and i think the sound is not clear in my country the T50 cost 350 euro so maybe its for that the sound is not clear

Well said👍

I’ve owned Denon and Pioneer Elite both are excellent. I even had great luck with Sherwood in the past. I have not had good experience with Onkyo, and neither have people I know that all eventually dumped them for something else. My brother likes Denon and Yamaha, but on the same set of speakers I think his Denon sounded better than the Yamaha he upgraded too for Atmos. Yamaha audio reproduction always seems a little too sharp and bright, not treble heavy, but just focusing more on higher frequencies and muddying the mids, and it can’t be fixed with an equalizer. Might just be a receiver/speaker pairing issue for him.

@@emotionz3 I'm not a fan of Yamaha amps, they sound so thin and light, can get boring after awhile but they do make great sounding speakers and headphones which puts some expensive gear to shame.

Hi, Anthem and Paradigm are a perfect match! However, Denon receivers match up perfectly with Paradigm as well. It all comes down how much one wants to spend.

Are you kidding me? I'm in Canada too but I own YAMAHA and SVS and you can get deals on many products not just those made in Canada. "I am an Anthem guy, but I am in Canada." I am an YAMAHA guy, but I am in Japan 😂

@@thegoat164 calm yourself dude. Perhaps getting cost helps me too, or will that upset you too?

@behexen250 Electronics Anthem: Manufactured in Mississauga, Ontario (and Vietnam) madeinca.ca/category/electronics/

Haha, exactly the same here! 😉👍

I did a little research on amplifiers up to $ 1000 and about warming problems like Denon 4000 models and especially the popular 4500 model say it has 9.2 120W channels per channel but the overall amplifier power only TOTAL POWER 600W Make 600: 9 = 66.66666 and one third of them don't take advantage of this

Pioneer, Marantz, Denon, and Onkyo, are all owned by the same company.

i also have a denon receiver so true the sound is very cleaner

I have a Sony 5.1 that I bought in 1999 and its now my garage with a 5 disk carousel cd player. Crazy it all still works even after the last 6 years in a dusty hot garage.

SONY STR-DA1200ES,like a tank!

Same here. I bought in into musiccast so I am committed for a long time.

I always hear the highest praise for Yamaha and Sony.

YAMAHA for me as well, #1 for reliability and I've had mine for 12 years now and I'm betting it still works 10 years from now.

Great AVR

Yamaha will always be my favorite brand of receivers

Hi, Yamaha receivers are great! But, its how one matches them correctly with the right speaker packages. My experience with Yamaha receivers has been when they are match with Klipsch Reference speakers, the sound is amazing for both movies and music.

@@avg0062 YAMAHA matched with SVS Ultras😉

Same. Denon & Marantz are great, but it's Yamaha Aventage for me.👌

@@thomasfox8027 Totally agree, I have 3 Aventage receivers in three rooms of my house. They are amazing and have all the features I will need for quite awhile.

Thomas Fox But YAMAHA sound quality for music is so terrible

I just reviewed the Yamaha A-S501 and I love it for music!

@@niupizhu6566 sorry but I will have to disagree with that bold statement you just made

I didn't even think about it, but you're right. They might all have Audyssey. I do like competition though. I hope Dirac and ARC makes their pricing more competitive so consumers might find them in less expensive models. I saw Dirac on an NAD T 758 V3 AVR and I was surprised it was "only" $1299.

Joe N Tell absolutely. The NAD is a nice machine, however, for the money, I believe that I bought the best receiver money can buy, based on features. On screen display and stuff.(AVR-x8500h) I have been a long time Pioneer fan. But even they can’t touch “Denon,Marantz “. Until now that they are all owned by “Sound United “. I love your channel Joe. You and Technodad. You’re my guys. Along with audioholoics and youthman.

Mike Z-HT must be your setup, I need Audessy on

@@lusly258 Everyone ears are totally different, its definitely not my setup! I read on AVS forum & other places ,people like the sound better off & then on..

i have auddsey on all the time for 4 k and blu-ray moves, i just love the sound of atmos and dtx is fantastic with auddsey on and atmos to with crystal clear sound.

i got mine last weekend

mike schneider nice! How do you like it so far?

@@T-eee-L i havnt ran audyssey eq yet, been busy. but yes i love it. i owned a denon avr4311ci before for 12 years, so im always a fan of denon.

I got mine 2 weeks ago.

Our Little Cakery I’ve done the same thing using an Emotiva amp with a Marantz AV8801. Amazing sound quality

You know!!!!

I just got the Yamaha rx-a3080 to replace my Marantz sr6008. why does the Yamaha sound so low? I have to crank the volume really high, the sr6008 sounds louder.

@@guanaco1626 Cheap amplifier cheep power supply TOTAL power is no higher is limit

me 2, but yamaha UI sucks big time.

Okay but the price difference is huge. I bought the Denon 4500h. If I want the same I need to buy a the Yamaha 2080. Price is insane.

Yes yamaha and Polk audio nice match

Yamaha,really!?

I agree. This video tells me nothing. Other than he is probably sponsored by Denon and Marantz. I am in the market to replace my 9 year old Denon AVR-1612. I won’t be getting another Denon.

#1) Not sponsored. We're REQUIRED to state that. #2) Your Denon lasted 9 years. Why don't you like it?

@@joentell Hey Joe I like most of your videos, just wasn't impressed with this one and agreed with Shannon. As for #2, yes it lasted 9 years. The reason I won't be getting another one I experienced a poor warranty situation early on. There was also a time that it randomly lost all of my setup requiring reprogramming and recalibration. As of today it is working fine, but I want to try another brand for my next AVR.

@@TurtleBones You accused me of being sponsored on this video which is incorrect. I have proudly done some in the past for other companies and plan on doing sponsored videos in future. I always mention when that's the case. I have actually never even done a review of a Sound United product as of now. I just want to set the record straight on that. I'm saying I like Denon and Marantz because I've personally had good experiences with them. Guess what my next video is? A Yamaha receiver...and I really like it. So this was not meant to be exclusive to Marantz and Denon. It's reasons why I like them, not why I don't like others.

@@joentell you already said that

It does take a while to do the initial calibration. Totally worth it for me. Let me know how the presets go.

PS Great Video. Well done and informative

So they are entry-level for a wipe and audiophobic snob

I guess Bose is for first grade...

Yamaha's always seemed to have good clean detailed , dynamic, uncolored sounding preamp sections, with good processing. it's the amplifier sections that could use some refinement! Pairing Yammies with outboard power amps are the way to go, imo

If you appreciate any form of music, you'll return that denon as fast as fk

@@alexanderscott3790 That's 100% true statement !

As far as customer support goes, Yamaha is a class act.

Henrik John I would agree... when I was comparing the Denon and Marantz side by side the Marantz had so much more dynamic expression for music. It was a lot more lively than the Denon

Correct. I have a pioneer elite receiver myself. They are the best ones in my opinion

i have the elite vsx84txsi 140 per channel thx rated, 7.1 hdmi..i love mine too!

Agreed, i have the Pioneer Elite sc-79 flagship model, clean sound. The others brands are good too, why isnt Pioneer given a shoutout? 🤔

May be that your Yamaha is more suited for the speakers than the denon. I had a yamaha that I could change powerampsetting between driving 6 and 8 ohm speakers

I have yet to test out the newer Yamaha reeceivers. I never claimed Denon or Marantz was the best, just that I like them and recommend them. A lot of people seem to like Yamaha. I reached out to them now to look at some of their offerings.

@@joentell if you're long enough in audio (and it seems so) you realize that yamaha makes insane amps. Just take a look at a old c4 pre amp. They cameup with serviceability ideas you would not even believe decades ago already. Not to mention reliable especially in their higher end power amp lineup.

Correct

My goodness! Beast is right!!!

Is not think like that best if you like it and you wont playing extra is your many

Me too, in silver and it's beautiful.

@@mordimeshita1754???WTF

Must be nice to be a baller. 😉

My 10 year old Marantz lost its audio a couple weeks ago, and evidenced symptoms over the past few years. This was my first Marantz product. It does not strike me that they're built like tanks any more.

I have a marantz SR19 since 2001. It's still working but I want a new receiver for HDMI hookup

The old receivers are basically good as integrated amps. Tuners are gone. Outlaw makes a great receiver with lots of power and I think it has HDMI which is rare in a stereo receiver. But if you want multi-channel, receivers are most common. Be sure it has full pre-outs so you can connect an external amp.Gene at Audioholics tests receivers and has found that some do not have full output voltages at their pre-out jacks. Watch his videos.

What did you notice was the difference in sound? It's tough to explain I know.

Peetiegonzalez Absolutely correct! I’ve done careful sound quality comparisons between certain brands, Denon beats Yamaha every time, and for years now.

Joe N Tell In my many receiver sound quality comparisons over many years, with all neutral tone settings, the Yamaha’s were consistently brighter, more forward, usually less/lower reproduction of bass, giving a thinner sound. (This is their reputation also, it’s well known. So people who like more emphasis on highs/treble response go for Yamaha.) Denon and Marantz are known for more solid, thick, meaty bass, and a warmer sound, (while still being open and clear in the highs.) This is what I like, so I’ve had Denon for a long time. I’d love to know more about how Denon/Marantz compare to Onkyo and NAD in terms of signature sound/ brand sound characteristics.

@@joentell It is tough to quantify. Especially as I formed my opinion unscientifically several years ago and have stuck with Denon since. I wasn't blind testing, either, just switching the whole system out and using for days at a time. I just got the impression the Yamaha sound was a bit 'flat', compared to the Denon's more fuller sound. With Gallo Nucleus ref. speakers back in the day, I also felt the Denon offered a much clearer soundstage. Since I've stuck to speakers with decent tweeters and top-of-the-range Denon amps, (I used to pick them up used for a fraction of their original price as each new model came out with an extra codec or two, the high-end crowd would upgrade and dump their 1-gen-old $3,000 model for a few hundred bucks.) I haven't needed a centre speaker. People don't believe me at first when I tell them that, when they can clearly hear voices/instruments (seemingly) coming right out of the TV screen.

May be the other way around if you had different speakers, but great youve found a combination that rocks👍

Hell Yeah!!

Mande a comprar un Denon AVR-X2400H a Amazon , todavia lo recibo.

Also not a mention of Sony and Yamaha, Yamaha manufacture a lot of the surround decoder ICs.

I've never owned a Sony AVR. What do you like better about it?

@@joentell besides better sounding for music and films (and for that you'll have to do a listening test to decide if I'm right or not) there's the more modern graphical interface, and using the automated speaker setup is faster, and easier than Audessey's (spelling). It's pretty tough too. I brought it over to a friend's house a few months after I bought it and a friend of his accidentally fell on it and sort of crushed it. I took it to the local Sony authorized repair shop, cost $75 to have the chassis pounded back into shape and electronics checked to be sure I wouldn't electrocute myself and the Sony kept on going and sounding just fine. It still wobbled on a flat surface but a couple pieces of cardboard under one of the feet fixed that. I'd still be using it but Dolby Atmos came out and I wanted the feature. Denon was one of the first to offer Atmos so I bought it and a set of those add-on Atmos cap speakers and liked it. I sold the Sony, told the buyer about its accident, and they still bought it for $200. I ran into the guy a year ago and told him I should have kept it. He loves it. The newest model, the Sony 1080, is the top pick, over the Denon and Marantz, Onkyo, Yamaha, etc over at What Hi-Fi. It has Atmos and all the other bells and whistles. I'll say one thing, if it's in your budget, which will have to be a lot more, check out PS Audio. I had their old Elite Plus, integrated amp that I bought new when it came out in the late 70's or early 80's. It had been sitting in the garage for 20 years and for a lark I brought it in and hooked it up to my system, and it blew the Denon out of the water as far as sound. I ended up selling the PS Audio gear to someone in another state for $500 , he's a genuine golden ear audiophile too, worked with some of the greats, like John Iverson. Anyways, go audition the Sony or if you have deep pockets, the PS Audio. (I've been eyeing their new Sprout 100 integrated amp that's about $500-$600, the same ballpark as the Sony or similar Denon, and going back to listening in stereo, but REALLY GOOD stereo. )

Joe N Tell - you should review the Sony STR DN1040 - it is very good and better for Music.

@@dgdave2673 He'd have an easier time getting hold of the latest version that's been around for a couple of years now the STR-DN 1080. A week or two ago they went on sale for one day at under $350. Amazon screwed me up on buying one then.

Agree on Sony but make sure it’s the Sony ES (Elevated Standard) line of products. No doubt Marantz and Denon (D & M Holdings) have got the latest technology built in to their receivers. I still think both the build quality (5 Year Warranty) and the audio of Sony ES is preferred. Hopefully Sony builds a new model to replace the Sony ZA5000ES. The flagship Sony STR-DA5800ES is also fantastic if you don’t require Atmos.

I would love to test out both of those.

Ultimax 18 is a beast. Depending on the enclosure your going to use, make sure you have a good amount of room to let it breath.

I want to review some newer Yamaha stuff.

@@joentell Yes, definitely... Please ! and don't get shocked when you experience the pathetic "Stereo Mode" because of the low quality amps used in AVRs in order to compensate the bloatware costs... People need to be informed !

Is stereo mode bypassing all of the DSP?

@@joentell Hahahaa... that was an epic shot ! :)

? I'm just curious if it works like pure direct mode

I'm upgrading my gear and am looking into that same setup but can't decide between the Denon or Marantz.

@@godhand6510 True. The Marantz has the HDAM boards for better sounding preamps but the Denon has more power.

@@godhand6510 What is your room size?

"Everything" I said is available in 90% of receivers? You mean like my entire list? 100% of my list? I don't agree.

@@joentell I agree with what he said. Pretty much everything you said is available in every single modern receiver.

How is Audyssey in the Pioneer, Sony, Yamaha and Onkyo receivers? Oh yeah, they don't have that! That was the main reason I went with Denon in the first place. Please don't try to say that YPAO, AccuEQ MCACC, or DCAC is in the same league. They might have improved since the last time I've tried them, but most reviews say those suck in comparison.

@@joentell I agree with Ezequiel as well. You obviously agree with him that 90% of what you said are in all the other brands of AV Receivers so maybe making a video called, "Two great reasons why I prefer a Denon AV Receiver over another brand", would have made for a more "to the point" video.

@@MovieGuy846 I don't agree though. I think most of the things I stated are specific to Denon and Marantz. Feel free to make that video though

Marantz is really good too.
