So let see, based on the SVS Ultra Towers / LCR front stage + surround, Ht elevation for movie play. 2 channel music, internal amp of the 6700H blew away the 4700H on the low end freq band. The 20 watts made all the difference? tightness for my 8 ohm SVS Ultra Towers. The two towers just came alive vs 4700H. Two days later, I added the Emotiva. All bets were off, 4700H shined like the North Star. Serious heart throbbing extreme lows ~ highs. The 6700H performed as well w/ Emotiva. I ran a series of high quality audio CD tracks from Spotify. Melody of BASS, Mids, tweeter sound tests were simply outstanding. One issue I experienced w/ 4700H. Every so often the system front display would hang, freeze. Unable to get around it but to do a system POR. On the other hand, 6700H had a few switching corks but only on my TV display. Seems like the HDMI would get confused if I switch around source. If I went back to the pre-set button #4, Spotify, it was fine after. Or I just turned my TV off/on. I'm sure a patch update should fix that 6700H issue once Denon catches up.
At this point, I'm waiting for a response from Denon as to the 6700H Cap issue. Which they acknowledged to Amirm via email, as to the faulty / out of spec component issue. I called it in to Denon yesterday (A day early) I was told I would receive a response back 24/48 hrs concerning the master recall list, And that I would Not accept a verbal good / bad based on my s/n # . I have requested a with the affected systems.
Lastly- I purchased both systems from Crutchfield. Great company to do business. The two system issues are not there problem but are working with me to resolve w/ new replacements. After receiving my 4700H, I quickly noticed a dirty worn out box and the internal packaging not completely fresh as I had w/ the 6700H. In fact, when I put the boxes side by side. The 6700H which came from Japan looked brand new w/out a blemish. The 4700H which came from Vietnam looked via horse back, tossed around in the jungle by a gorilla. The box was beat-up, semi crushed re taped bottom edges, On the top middle edge crushed through, also middle edge Styrofoam was cracked inside but no noticeable system damage. I complained to Cruchfield about that and questioned them, if the unit was returned / shipped to multiple customers. He said, it was possible but also noted it was graded as New before it came to me. I highly doubt this was a brand new shipment just by the condition of the box. Unless it was shipped from Vietnam via different, cheaper jungle route to the mainland. All of these system outer boxes have system dual label which corresponds with the system origin / S/N.
Question- Anyone one out there with a 4700H, does your box look damaged or worn dirty from a long bad shipment? As I said, 6700H from Japan looked perfect as if I picked it up from Japan.
