    AV Receiver offering bi-amp

    Hi people, I often wondered this myself and thus figured out a way to do it at least on Denon gear such as the AVR-5803. I am sure teh 4802/3803 and others will work this way as well. Here is an excerpt from my review of the AVR-5803 that you may find helpful.

    Denon 2900 "quieter" than my Denon 1600

    All; I received an update from Denon regarding the bass management issue and was authorized to post in on Audioholics forums. You are welcomed to view it there, but I will also excerpt it here as well.

    Denon 2900 "quieter" than my Denon 1600

    Hi Lewis; Thanks for your feedback. I copied the Denon feature matrix on the first page of the review and that is where that info came from. We just happily received some very good test gear from Sencore to make measurements that you have requested. So in time, it will be possible and I may...

    Denon 2900 "quieter" than my Denon 1600

    Kimo/All; We found the Denon DVD-2900 to be just about one of the best performing Universal players on the market. You should also note because of format differences between DD/DTS and DVD-A/SACD, you will have to boost your sub level by about 10-15dB on the latter formats to compensate...

    Attention Yamaha RX-Z1 owners!!!

    Your not crazy to upgrade to a receiver from separates. Many entry level separates don't live up to the performance of todays Flagship receivers. The B&K equipment is nice, but I can see the appeal to having a one box solution, particularly a good one from the likes of Yamaha or Denon to say the...

    Denon 5803 over a 3802 with additonal AMp?

    If I may add my 2cents here, being quite versed with the Denon AVR-5803 and many other products currently on the market, I would have to say the 5803 would be quite a step up from your current Denon receiver. The amp section in it should be more than capable of driving your Def Tech speakers...
