Specifications

When it comes to lineage, this new receiver is a direct replacement for the AVR-X2600H, and uses much the same internal hardware – but Denon insists the two models sound quite different. Even slower songs, such as this, come across with a sense of momentum. Obviously, it can’t compete musically with even a budget stereo amplifier but, all the same, our listening time with this AVR is so enjoyable that it’s difficult to tear ourselves away long enough to start telling you how much we like this receiver. Verdict As its Product of the Year Award status may suggest, the Denon AVR-X2800H is a brilliant home cinema amp. It offers a more spacious and refined sound when compared with its predecessor, which is surprising as it shares many of the same components as the AVR-X2700H.

In our listening room, we put the AVR-X2800H through its paces with a 5.1.2 set-up using Dolby Atmos speaker toppers. Starting with Dune on Blu-ray in Dolby Atmos, we’re instantly aware that despite many of its internal components remaining the same as the 2700, the 2800 has been tuned to produce a more open, well-spread soundstage that’s less reliant on heavy low-end prowess to produce a mature and authoritative sound. Enjoy your favourite audio without waking your whole home by transmitting the audio coming from your AV receiver to your Bluetooth headphones. The AVR-X2700H even allows you to play the audio on both Bluetooth headphones and connected speakers simultaneously. If you have a family member or a friend who is hearing impaired, we recommend this setup. Bluetooth connectivity has also been revamped, so the AVR-X2700H can control audio to wireless headphones at the same time as its speakers. Sound Despite the price hike, the AVR-X2800H still sits at the head of the class, just as its excellent predecessor did.The latest in HDMI support: With 6 advanced HDMI inputs and 2 HDMI outputs with full HDCP 2.3 support, connect to 6 media devices and output to 2 displays. If we had to use one word to describe the sound of this receiver, it would be ‘confident’. The AVR-X2700H doesn’t try too hard to impress, as a nervously underpowered budget amp might, with huge blasts from the front pair or the subwoofer during the space dogfight in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2.
