Just curious, what make and model are your speakers?Hello, I have noticed the buzzing noise coming from all my 7 home theatre speakers when I put my ears close to the speaker tweeters.
Of course, there are technological differences between 8500HA and A1H,I have an original 8500 AVR and it's a great machine but A1H is very tempting.
Monitor Audio Apex Speakers.Just curious, what make and model are your speakers?
I thought it might be a case of high sensitivity speakers revealing any slight noiseMonitor Audio Apex Speakers.
A10 speakers for front and surrounds. A40 speaker as center.
BTW, i tried also my Monitor Audio RX6 silver serie floorstand speaker in this setup. It had this sound too.
I can hear a very faint buzzing noise not hissing noise when i put my ears very close to tweeters (3-4cm <> 1.5 inch)Cigibroke,
As Sal1950 mentioned, you have normal or slightly below normal sensitivity loudspeakers and this "noise" shouldn't be that noticeable. I have on paper 1dB more sensitive speakers than yours and I have to turn up the volume on my AVR all the way up to hear any hissing noise from a 4-inch distance with my ear next to the tweeter. I'm impressed by how quiet this AVR is. The only thing I can hear sometimes is transformers hum but not from my main listening position.
It seems your noise is louder on your AVR than mine otherwise you would not started this thread.
It's possible that some cables inside are not properly tied up and routed. Also, if the main ribbon cable is not fully situated you will experience a horrible ground loop noise. The reason I know all this is that I went through it all with my AVR after it came back from repair. See if you can borrow/use another Denon AVR and do some comparisons.
Oh, by the way, nice looking loudspeakers you got there.
No problem, we're tech heads here, that's what we do.I think I've exaggerated this little buzzing problem a little too much. Thank you so much for your help.
That's from a 3rd-party seller on Amazon ("Grenade Audio"). Never buy from a 3rd-party seller, it's like buying on eBay, but probably worse.Am I seeing this right? The original (old) receiver is still available and it's more expensive than it's replacement???

I already own the original 8500H but was surprised by the pricing of the old vs new model.That's from a 3rd-party seller on Amazon ("Grenade Audio"). Never buy from a 3rd-party seller, it's like buying on eBay, but probably worse.
If you purchase the 8500HA from Amazon directly, they are listing it for $3653.72, with free prime shipping.I already own the original 8500H but was surprised by the pricing of the old vs new model.
yeah, but the old one has those sweet DACs.I already own the original 8500H but was surprised by the pricing of the old vs new model.
I'm hoping that the new version of AKM DACs finds its way into the A1H machine. Nothing but velvet here. LOL!yeah, but the old one has those sweet DACs.
I found a used A1H for 4000EUR (negotiable) here in Germany, very tempting as an all-in-one device for stereo and HT. Are you driving the KEFs with the Denon or external mono blocks?I have an original 8500 AVR and it's a great machine but A1H is very tempting.
Only Denon. Plenty loud and excellent sounding.I found a used A1H for 4000EUR (negotiable) here in Germany, very tempting as an all-in-one device for stereo and HT. Are you driving the KEFs with the Denon or external mono blocks?
I would go for it. For me, that would be an end-game piece.I found a used A1H for 4000EUR (negotiable) here in Germany, very tempting as an all-in-one device for stereo and HT. Are you driving the KEFs with the Denon or external mono blocks?
But there would be a difference on the types of music files (Hi-Res) they can handle.There is no issue with the different DACs that you are going to hear.
