Right - the impedance selection setting does the same thing as ECO mode, only is less configurable and harder to get to. It's because it's not intended to actually be used..
Because you will need power to drive speakers with that impedance. Fortunately those speakers have high sensitivity, but you might be able to fall short with both models if you amplify those speakers using the receiver's 9 channels of amplification. Especially if you like to turn up the volume.
And I do not advise you to select an impedance lower than 8 ohms on the receiver, even if your speakers are 4. It is possible that by selecting 4 oh, the receiver will heat up less, but limit the amplification power even more.
I have an older pair of Dynaudio towers for Front L/R (Audience 72; 4 ohm), and chose the x4700h for the extra "headroom" (power).
No one's mentioned how Denon removed the front HDMI input making it an almost non-starter for those of us who hook up a laptop often for REW or other uses.
I’ll probably just leave a long hdmi cable out since I don’t have a rack for my current setup.
That's exactly what I'm doing when anyone want to hook up a laptop, phone or etc to the TV, so a front HDMI isn't that essential to me.
Thanks, Peng...I already have ordered the ones you linked to.Please put a fan or two on top. Get the variable speed one and set both to minimum speed and you won't hear them unless you sit close.
Yes I have both and depending on how fast Denon responds, 8500H would be next.Did they send you the nad t778? And the denon 8500h was the next right?
I'm very interested in the results for the Denon AVR-X8500H; hoping (wanting) it to be the best of the Denons. We'll have to see.depending on how fast Denon responds, 8500H would be next.
You will soon be on a quest to have a speaker at the end of each of the 11 channels. Nothing will be able to stop you doing it... nothing! You have been warned. Neighbors will be talking. They will say that you were once the guy with a soundbar and something bad happened. Heads will shake. Tongues will tut. But you won't hear them... over the sound of your dual subwoofers.To my ears, the X3700 is a no brainer. I sold my top of the line LG soundbar to buy the X3700. The worst decision was buying a soundbar and I am glad I kept my PSB Alpha speakers around which right now working great with the X3700. I might add a bargain subwoofer along the way.
LOL, but you're prolly right !!!. . . But you won't hear them... over the sound of your dual subwoofers.
I am right. I speak from my own experience.LOL, but you're prolly right !!!
I said that. Perhaps I got this wrong.I don't recall anyone saying that it is not the case. It has to be, at least to some extent.I guess I logically thought that if I power the center with an external amp instead of the receiver, that it should make the total available amplification power distribute over a lower number of speakers, thus increasing the available amplification power for those speakers, but it seems that’s not the case. I admit I don’t really understand why yet.
Atmos/DTSX sounds absolutely incredible? Actually for my room 13 is better but won’t have any need for any more than that...Why would anyone want 11 channels
Did you not notice the sign at the door that said Home Theater Forum ?Why would anyone want 11 channels
Why would anyone want 11 channels
Because speaker and amplifiers manufacturers making money selling more speakers and amplifiers.
Why would anyone want 11 channels
I would give my final 5 cents to that too.And Dolby and DTS need something new to sell every few years too.
