Denon AVR-X6700H AVR Review (Updated)

[Barney O'Hara]

In November 2023 I bought the 6700 as it was reduced from $4300 cdn to $1899. How can I find out if this is a good one?
thanks,

Me too. Why wouldn't it be a good one? Mine is awesome.

 

[Barney O'Hara]

Yes, l'm enjoying this too and I don't even have a sub or all the speakers. (yet). I'm just freaking out a bit because when I find reviews that have concerns, after I buy it, I kind of panic. I'm hoping I can double check that my unit has all the problems solved.

 

[SharinganUser]

Im no expert. Nor did I make this unit, But my understanding is most of the issues were with the 2020 models when this first came out. We literally bought the last models that were made so I'm pretty sure everything has been sorted. I've had my system since you had yours and I'm running it with a sub and nine very power hunger speakers and it's performed like a champ. I think you're okay.

 

[Barney O'Hara]

Many thanks for the reassurance. Dying to know which "power hungry" speakers you use.

 

[SharinganUser]

Haha well they are CRAZY power hungry but are all 4 ohm 86-87 db sensitivity. 9 R Meta series speakers. R6 R3s and R8s

im sure somewhere on this site or even with Denon themselves you can confirm via the serial number - but i am pretty sure anything after a certain date is totally fine and now we are past that date

If i remember correctly the first x700 models had the hdmi bug, the upgraded models work fine with hdmi 2.1

Thought it was a capacitator issue... but yeah, that was 4 years ago... you and I are both fine. I do have an issue with audio drop outs every now and then, which is strange.
