As its Product of the Year Award status may suggest, the Denon AVR-X2800H is a brilliant home cinema amp.

All Zone TV audio: Play the audio from your TV to another zone for your favourite shows without losing fully discrete surround sound in the main zone.In the climactic moment in which the sandworm first bursts out of the sand, the powerful synth elements of the score, piercing brass and booming effects have more separation than with the 2700, where they almost sit on top of each other. This moment can be underwhelming and almost choked on some sound systems, but the 2800 gives a bit of space to each facet for a more coherent, dramatic presentation. It also feels like there’s a touch more dynamic headroom revealing additional detail and helping to create impact through more than just sheer bass.

It passes the laser blasts from speaker to speaker in a wonderfully coherent manner and, no matter the scene, creates a genuine sense of place. Sadly though all good things come to an end and my trusty Arcam AVR100 has finally given up the ghost completely after a prolonged illness (buzz on power up that led to go away, no longer goes away) 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.By visually guiding you through each step in the setup process, the award-winning Denon Setup Assistant ensures you get set up right the first time.
