What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

.svg)
Product Strengths
- Seventeen channels of processing, 13 speaker channels, and 4 subwoofer channels
- Eleven internal amplifiers to power the 13 channels it can process, and the last two have to be powered externally
Product Considerations
- Denon Marantz startup time is 12 to 14 seconds
- There are limitations on speaker configuration, so picking the closest match will functionally work
- Compatible with Dirac Live, however, Dirac Live requires additional costs and setup
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- The AVR-X6800H adds two more channels over the Denon AVRX 4800
- The AVR-X6800H has an advantage since rear surrounds or surround back speakers do not have to be disabled in order to use all the immersive channels
- The AVR-X6800H replaces the 6700 with a very similar feature set but a couple of new extras, more subwoofer counts, etc
Takeaway: The AVR-X6800H is a receiver that provides very good value, capable of creating a very immersive sound experience. It gives many speaker configuration options.

Their receivers deliver up to 13 channels of output and include 8K HDMI with eARC support, while their limited edition models like the PMA-A110 combine classic design with modern performance.
Expand Details
Product Strengths
- HDMI 2.1 provides future-proofing in terms of 8K and 4K 120, plus next-gen gaming features in HDR formats
- Thirteen channels of processing and 13 channels built-in allow for a full 13.2 channel system without additional amplification
- Denon's setup wizard guides users through the setup process, making it relatively easy
- A provided microphone allows the user to EQ the entire system for the room, the bass, and tonal balance
- It is feature-packed, and reviewers find no better specified receiver on the market
Product Considerations
- It does not have a tuner, so technically it is an AV amplifier, not a receiver
- It is big and heavy
- It has only a single 8K input, which is also the only 4K/120 input
- It is approaching the end of its lifespan
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Arcam AVR 31: The AVC-X8500HA has more connectivity and analog/digital inputs, while the Arcam AVR 31 has a simpler back panel
Takeaway: The Denon AVC-X8500HA offers a complete, feature-rich home theater experience with its 13 channels and future-proofed HDMI 2.1, making it a great option for immersive sound. If the user wants a high-end receiver with pretty much every feature available, this is it.

Expand Details
Our summary
Product Strengths
- Beautiful solid construction built to a very high standard, exuding confidence

- YPAO can sometimes flatten the bass too much and create unwanted notches in the frequency response
- Does not impart a lot of flavor, if any, into the mix, so may not be ideal for those looking for tone control
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs Yamaha RN-1000A: Construction and sound are much better, with a DAC that is quite lovely
- Vs Yamaha AS-3000: Sounds better
- Vs Luxman/Pass Labs/Accuphase: It holds its own with those brands, giving nothing up to them
