    Help me decide: 7.1 today with future headroom, go with the Denon AVR-X4700H or X8500H

    Every girl that's come over so far has the same nonplussed comment: did you get enough speakers? They like it when the system is playing but I know none of them would stand to have a set up like this in their own home. probably mostly how the surrounds are just sitting in open space. But for...

    Thank you, but I'm currently single lol. My setup is lovely for me but I know when I get a girl she wouldn't approve of having that many speakers surrounding the living room, but we do what we can with what we have. I'm sort of okay with not having a divider because my dining room is right...

    I'm well past the time in my life where I am impressed by earth shattering bass. I run each at less than half volume and that's plenty for my tiny living room. So far, no one has complained but I plan to check with my neighbors to make sure I'm not being annoying.

    Well it took me quite a bit of time to get set up but as promised, here's my set up: I'm so very grateful to this forum for helping me with my equipment list. Its a perfect setup for my space. It sounds great, and doesn't disturb the neighbors. The only struggle I had was getting the...

    you know i consider myself to be a non-dumb person, that never occurred to me to try that. before I got the Denon AVR, I had the shield plugged directly into the TV and had no audio lag issues. hopefully the same will be true going through the AVR with this cable.

    so I set up my system temporarily (just to get everything out of the box and hooked up/working) and noticed there's significant audio lag coming from my nvidia shield. I'm using a generic HDMI cable and I suspect it has to be a cabling issue. The Apple TV 4K has no lag, its running this belkin...

    So I ended up getting the 4700H. I really wanted to wait and see what the new models would bring but I am now out of time. I will not really have time to buy, set up, and then research the new model on here whenever Denon gets around to launching it. I called up my local dealer and asked if he...

    wait what? they replaced the chip AND its more expensive than it was at launch?? yeah okay i'll just buy the amp and have a makeshift set up until something new approaches. going with purely 7.1 at the moment, I dont *really* need atmos right now anyway, its just that the 8801 doesnt have dolby...

    so... one more thing: are there any new Denon receivers on the horizon for this year? I know their release cycle is that they announce over the summer, and attempt to ship in late fall. They haven't refreshed their line up in 2 years, and are still having problems supplying the current chipset...

    I googled it and I see naked PCBoards with capacitors and stuff. do you have to like build these amp boxes or something? if I have to do extra work I'm not interested lol, i'd rather buy a big fat heavy box that's plug and play

    Help me decide: 7.1 today with future headroom, go with the Denon AVR-X4700H or X8500H

    Because I already have a set of the RP-600Ms paired with a Marantz-NR1710 slimline receiver and a Rythmik subwoofer in a 2.1 system in our sunroom. The sunroom is a long rectangle but I still sit around 12 feet away the speakers. The speakers definitely sound like they're struggling at high...

    Help me decide: 7.1 today with future headroom, go with the Denon AVR-X4700H or X8500H

    because i realized its a pipe dream at best. my new place will be big enough for a nice 7.1 set up, not much more. i may as well get the best, most reasonable processor now and then upgrade in a few years. the jump in price from the 4700 to the 6700 is too great given that i'll probably never...

    I was planning on getting the monoprice amp stand to place it on, so no, it will not be going into anything higher than a few inches off the ground, and I have a month before I move into my new place. perhaps its now time I start lifting weights to get stronger lol

    Help me decide: 7.1 today with future headroom, go with the Denon AVR-X4700H or X8500H

    So I have a pair of Klipsch RF-7s and RC-7 in my theater room that I've had for almost two decades. I initially powered my entire 7.1 setup, which still exists today, with the amplifier section from the Denon 3803. At some point, my local A/V dealer where I got those speakers and equipment from...

    I bought my Denon 4700 from Listenup for $1529 including shipping in late 2020. Personally, I don't think $1500 is a great price for a used 4700. Here are the questions I would ask if I were in your shoes. Wow, its crazy how much prices have gone up in a couple of years! Most retailers are...

    A seller on Ebay is motivated to sell his open box 4700H for 1500 +shipping/taxes. I told him my concerns about the warranty coverage. He's willing to give me his sales receipt from listenup, and said he didnt register it. Is this a fair enough deal or should I just bite the bullet and by from...

    Not only did he not move on price, but tried to charge the current inflated prices. I was actually shocked. I thought it would be an easy transaction: I've bought these same exact speakers from him 3 years ago, I want them again. I was sure they'd just sell it to me at that same price. but they...

    Just put in a call to Safe and Sound and got all of my speakers for an unbelievable price! I've been going to my local dealer for all my A/V needs for over a decade, even referred 5 friends to him, and they would not work with me at all on pricing out my equipment at a good rate. oh well, i...

    Help me decide: 7.1 today with future headroom, go with the Denon AVR-X4700H or X8500H

    I have the opportunity to buy a gently used 4700H. the original owner never registered it with Denon and bought it from an authorized dealer. If I get it, can I register it and get the full factory warranty or no?
