Denon AVR-790

Editors' note: This review is nearly identical to the Denon AVR-1910, as the two products are extremely similar. The only differences are slightly different cosmetics and the AVR-790 lacks IR inputs/outputs and the ability to drive "B" front speakers.The capability to upconvert analog video sources has become standard on midrange...

Denon AVR-789

Editors' note: The Denon AVR-789 is nearly identical to the AVR-1909, therefore the reviews are very similar. The AVR-789 lacks the smaller remote for second zone usage and a wired RF input, but is otherwise functionally identical. Setting up an audiovisual receiver isn't for the faint of heart. Stripping...

Denon AVR-1909

Setting up an AV receiver isn't for the faint of heart. Stripping speaker wire, multitudes of cables, inputs and outputs, confusing configuration--even the most grizzled AV nerd is likely to make at least one mistake during a setup. And even after you get it set up, it can be a...

Denon DHT-FS5

Denon's DHT-FS5 is an unusually compact single speaker surround system with an unusually compact list price--just $500. That means it sells for less than half the asking price of its big brother, Denon's up market DHT-FS3. Even so, the two units have a lot in common: they're almost the...

Denon DHT-FS3

After you've heard a few virtual surround speakers, you realize there's not a whole lot of surround sound coming out of these things. Yes, the better ones project sound beyond the width of the speaker and well into the room, but only if you're sitting directly in front of the...

Denon AH-NC732

Bose has managed to persuade thousands of people to spend large sums of money on the company's QuietComfort 3 and QuietComfort 2 noise-canceling headphones. That has emboldened companies such as Denon--which can leverage its own highly respected brand--to come up with its own pair of $300 noise-canceling headphones. Alas, Denon...

Denon AH-C551 In-Ear Headphones

MP3 players are practically as prolific as cell phones now--heck, some of them are cell phones. Regardless of what portable device provides the music, one thing is a given: the stock earbuds that come in the package aren't doing ears any favors. Clearly, the landscape is ripe for aftermarket headphone...

Denon S-52

Denon AH-D2000 - headphones

With earbuds practically taking over the popular private listening landscape, I can't help but wonder how many people consider over-the-ear headphones anymore. While I love my earbuds, especially while wandering around New York City and riding the subway to work, over-the-ear 'phones provide a visceral listening experience that earbuds can't...

Denon AVR-3808CI

This has been a landmark year for AV receivers. Traditionally receivers have just been the muscle of a home theater, but now there's no denying that they're the brain, as well, as they contain more functionality than nearly any other piece of home-theater equipment. The Denon AVR-3808CI is the epitome...

Denon AVR-2307CI

It wasn't that long ago--May 2006, to be exact--that we gave the Denon AVR-2807 receiver an Editors' Choice award. We touted it as having the "Best bang for your home theater buck in 2006," but with the recently introduced AVR-2307CI ($800), the company upped its own ante. The Denon AVR-2307CI...

Denon DVD-2930CI

Denon's high-end upscaling DVD player, the DVD-2930CI ($850 list), is initially a somewhat confusing product. With Toshiba's HD-A1 HD-DVD player going for $500 and upscaling DVD players costing about $150, who wants to spend $850 for a non-high-def DVD player? Well, plenty of videophiles still aren't quite ready to spend...

Denon DHT-486DV

While home-theater-in-a-box HTIB systems are incredibly popular, they're typically not known for their sound or build quality. Thankfully, Denon's approach to HTIB design defies that sort of pigeonholing. First off, the DHT-486DV's 7-channel A/V receiver is a bona fide, separates-grade component. The DVD player is also first rate, and the...

Denon AVR-2807

At January's Consumer Electronics Show, we picked the Denon AVR-2807 as the best home-audio product of the show. It wasn't the boldest choice, to be sure, but unlike many of the show's pie-in-the-sky products that are vaguely sexy or potentially cool, the AVR-2807 has arrived more or less on schedule,...

Denon AVR-1906

There are those who can afford a high-end A/V receiver, but the vast majority of home-theater shoppers seem to be gravitating toward midrange products that deliver a nice mix of power and features for around $500. Over the years, Denon has developed a strong audiophile clientele by maxing out...

Onkyo is known for having speaker expertise, even though it's not primarily a speaker company. That's because of Onkyo's success selling home-theater-in-a-box systems HTIBs, which combine a speaker system and an AV receiver in a single box, taking some of the confusion out of putting together your own system.
