Dear Sir, I have heard the sound of AVC X3800H but not satisfied when i played only Audio like MP#, or audio CD, the sound is artificial i guess, what you suggest, can i buy AVR X2800H or 3800H ?

I decided to get it $$$ . it's been a while.... I have had a T300. This wheel is so awesome.. The direct drive is the thing. Can't compare this to a G923. Thats why the MAJOR price diff. Theres no middle. They need to make a Direct drive more more affordable.

Before I buy this from BestBuy, I went through the user manual. IT says we need TV to setup the AN1000. DO I need to keep the TV on and navigate through TV even to change FM channels, Apple airplay etc? I mean, can I operate AN-1000 independently without TV for pure audio listening?

After Dirac calibration can you go in the app and change the curve like with the Audyssey app?

Does it have the feature were you can turn off the main amp and use an external amp for the mains?

Great info!! If I where to get the Dirac software do I calibrate using the mic that is included with the avr?

Bought the AZ5000 -and- LOVE it !!

I agree about room correction - I always leave these systems off and just set the amp up myself. I just did so with a new Denon 2800, which replaced an Onkyo 605. I do kinda disagree about the Denon sound, though - to my ears, running no EQ or Audyssey, the Denon sounds considerably warmer and more laid back compared to my old Onkyo. The Onkyo house sound is definitely more aggressive and in your face, while Denon seems to dial that back a little.... almost like a more mature, refined delivery. I can see why HT enthusiats gravitate to Onkyos for this reason.

Seems like the obvious choice if your on console and for gran turismo 7 unless you feel you need a shifter and many wheels to choose on. Personaly i would never spend 300-500 on a shifter when i enyoy shifting with wheel more . If on PC i think simlab would be the best from what i read

May I ask why you suggest not buying this receiver for Atmos?

Good video, just currently deciding if I should make the purchase along with the Playseat Trophy

Why are you saying dollar 600

Have you tested MPEG-H through the AVR-X3800H?

Bought this avr and adding klipsch rp8000 2 tower and svs 1000 sealed sub and a klipsch center speaker. Can anyone recommend if it can power center and towers from klipsch?

has no prep out 😕

Hi, does the Sony get hot in standby with HDMI control settings on, like the previous Sony's

would love one but a thousand dollars is just too much for me.

I don’t think it matches the Onkyo TX NR6100. The sound on both are similar. Maybe slightly more instrument separation with the Sony. The soundstage is about the same, however, no? Thoughts? For features, for around the same price, the 6100 offers more. So likely the most bang for buck with Onkyo.

Dont buy from Thrustmaster. Bought T150 pedals and steering 2023 May. Within a year pedal spring broke and bought new steering and pedals as Thrustmaster does not offer support for parts in Africa. Within even 2 months pedal spring broke again. Customers in America and Europe do enjoy part support to replace the springs only for $5(R90 in South Africa) and African contries are excluded from this support meaning you have to replace the whole kit or get a company to make the springs for you. Shipping quotes were ridiculous and even with a guarantee how long will it take to fix and how many times a year? My advice is dont buy Thrustmaster. Im trying logitech or fanatec. My question is why even sell your products in Africa and exclude them from part support. its like selling a car and not offering parts for it

The problem i hear with denon is that the HDMI ports always quit working.

Nice review

Short, succinct and fair review. Thanks and much appreciated. I want one but just bought a G923 so will have to let the wife have her cooling off time then wham, I'll get that wheel!

Didn’t hear anyone mention the Onkyo having the best sound. Actually the Pioneer and Onkyo are now the same parent company and virtually identical sound signature. The Onkyo 6050, as mentioned, is way less money. Nice warm mids compared to the Denon, which is sterile. Instrument separation is good on the Denon, but pretty sterile sound with no warmth in the midrange. The Marantz is way more money and, to me, does not sound better

I just picked up the 305 for $500 new open box from ebay. Personally I am kind of a Pioneer head. Pioneer was just the go to system for cars when I was growing up and they have always made decent products. I still have my pioneer elite vsx-56txi. That is a very old receiver but it still sounds incredible. Will hate to let it go with it's 110W per channel it just shines when it comes to sound but it's time to upgrade because it's missing a lot of modern features and doen't even have an HDMI lol. I have it connected to my TV via optical cable. Yeah the thing's just ancient but in all honesty it sounds incredible even today. Owell it's time to move on hope the 305 won't disappoint.

Its weird , I have a Onkyo TX-DS898 and he have better specs thann them all. 125 watt for 8 ohms and 150 w for 6ohms , 7.1 channel. Frequency response of 10 hz to 100Khz , total harmonic distortion of 0.08% etc... the receivers over the years are less good than in the start of the 2000 . really weird

Love your review. Thank you!

When I turn on the soundbar, will it automatically turn on the rs5 rear speakers ? Or do I have to turn each speakers on one by one ?

Nice, i think probably the easiest radar installation option for Taycan is the mirror wire tap

So denon 3800h is not good for music lover?

A Comparisson between the Yamaha V6a the Denon 2800h and the Sony TAAN1000 wolle be nice. Alternative the Denon 3800h with 9.4 against the Spatial Audio from Sony with 7Channels.

Those noises when you add text are very annoying.

How difficult was to ride over the assistance limit (15mph? or was it lower?)

hello Sr! nice video!!. i want to upgrade my receiver I have a denon avr s750h running a 5.2.2, and I am happy with it but I feel something is missing in the atmos area. perhaps because my listening position is against the back wall and my surrounds and atmos speakers both are against the wall and basically in the corners. so I have heard sony's spatial sound mapping brings the cinematic experience to another level. do you think sony will make a difference in my case? i am so tempted to buy this str an1000, I also looked at the ES series and I fell in love with the looks of those...so I might stretch my budget and buy the str az3000. both then again ... is it worth the upgrade? i have nothing to compare to... i just rely on what KZfaqrs say. what would you do?

fyi not suppose to hang carbon frame on top tube

Upgraded to x4800 from pioneer lx57 and what i feel now is -no hi's or no lo's its denon (not bose)! My personal view! Heard hiss while at +5.5db.

Spend a little more for the Pioneer vsxlx505 or the Onkyo RZ50. They held their own against my Arcam AVR5 at $2000

Great video. Will surely check more of your content. By the way, is it possible to wirelessly connect SA-RS3S as back speakers, connect SA-SW3 wirelessly, and also connect a wired center channel speaker in AN1000 Sony receiver model?

I was trying to decide between the AN1000 and the AZ3000 and your two videos on these receivers were very helpful. Thanks for saving me $1000!

Dirac is better no ifs or buts.

What puzzles me about these e-bike reviews is that I see more and more young, obviously quite fit guys buying and using them, and I have to ask why. I always thought the e- bike market, particularly the road bikes, was aimed at riders who, perhaps through age or some unfortunate disability/illness problem, could not cycle as they used to so switched to some form of electric assist. It never occurred to me to consider e-assist until I was in my late eighties, when the hills were getting too difficult, and my distances and average speed had dropped significantly. Finally, when I hit 90, I added a simple, light, friction drive kit to my road bike, which has been very good. For me, and many others, no doubt, this was a sort of last resort, but I still ask the question, why the younger and fitter?

Subscribed to your Channel - Following from Kenya 🇰🇪, East Africa. Presentation and explanation, on point! Quick ones/advice? 1. Amongst sets of: AVRS Sony STR - AN1000 or ES - AZ3000 (8K), OR, Denon XR2800H or XR3800H Which one would you recommend as an all round and value/bang for the money (future proof)? 2. Amongst sets of Speakers of: Sony/Klipsch/Sonos for 5.1.2 set up, Which one would you recommend for the above chosen AVR?

The Sony ES line are the ones to compare to the Marantz 7015,Denon x3800h,Onkyo RZ50,and the yamaha aventage line.The Sony an1000 is their value line,not their premium line.

Even though I am currently using a Yamaha AVR I have heard a couple of different AVR's from Sony's ES line and was pleasantly impressed by the sound quality. Some of these big name brands do miss out on some customers because they fail to put a feature in their product that many people expect from the price point on said product. As an example on many AVR's that provide two subwoofer outputs the outputs are usually in parallel from a single channel rather than each output being sourced from it's own channel. I can't see it being prohibitively expensive to have it so each sub out comes from it's own source. On an AVR that is $1600 dollars that should be doable. That is only one example and there are many others.

Now that these been out for over year. I wonder when new one with separate sub controls.

I would like to buy this receiver. An enigma is bothering me! If a device (DVD) that has an hdmi output is connected to, for example, the Video 1 input via hdmi. Input settings ?????? Is it possible to connect an analog device to the analog input of the Video 1 receiver (video and audio), for example, a VCR? Does the receiver recognize both signals at the same input? I read the user manual where there is no explanation for such a connection. It is only stated. hdmi and input name change. My question is whether it is possible to simultaneously connect to the input with the same name Video 1 (hdm and analog) and whether the receiver automatically recognizes it? Unless! Is it possible to choose hdmi or analog through the menu setting? Does it allow this possibility when several devices are running and the other is not being used at the same time!? I hope you understand my question!

Hi. Thanks for review. Do you know if the Grail On CF7 is compatible with the Bosch Powermore 250 RangeExtender? I have failed to find an answer online. I did find a link as to how to check your system for compatibility if you already have a CF7: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bs-YmdVnxsXVcok.html I you are able to check your system for compatibility that would be much appreciated.

The Biggist of downside about this wheel is........................ NO new wheels to use on it. If I was to it again, I would have waited for the Thrustmaster.

The Sony is $650 on Amazon now.

I have the Bose Acoustimass-6 Home theater speaker system. It’s the cube (5) plus the base module. This speaker system is at least 8-10 years old. I’m looking for a Sony AV receiver that will accommodate my Sony XL X90L Sony Bravia TV. I would rather have an AV receiver than a sound bar. Any suggestions?

Will it be a good upgrade if i buy pioneer lx-305? currently using marantz sr5011
