    Arrow Denon PMA-A100 Integrated Amplifier Video Review

    It's not often we get the chance to review an integrated amplifier from Denon. This is a high-end product from a company who we've determined in the past REALLY knows how to make good amps. So when they announced the PMA-A100 would be part of their 100th anniversary product line-up, we asked for it. And we had high expectations. Turns out Denon met our expectations and even blew by them in some areas. The A100 is a stereo amp that weighs nearly 57 pounds and even has cast iron feet. There are also hardly any lights on the front of the unit, making it a truly audiophile product - with nothing wasted on unnecessary displays or LED status lights.

    I never actually clicked on a video review, since I thought it would just be a video and not have an attached article. Turns out I was wrong. I still have no desire to watch a video review, but the amplifier's construction and measurements are indeed great. The amplifier is of course too expensive for me though

    ...I assumed they derated the power as a marketing strategy so that reviewers like myself would praise them from being ultra conservative. Let me just pause for a moment and throw some love and praise at Denon.....OK now that that's over...
    This made me LOL

    When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the person you are speaking to isn't doing the same thing.

    Default The Denon PMA-A100

    As usual Denon has yet to let me down. Yeah it's pricey but if you've got the jack, it's well worth what you've spent.It takes me a while but everytime I'm able to pick up a new amp it's always a Denon . It's even clean sounding to the neighbors. Do yourself a favor. Stick with Denon.

    Nice enough amp.. But for 2500 bucks it would be near the bottom of my list. Been quite a while since I have been on the forums. Kind of felt like i was watching one of those tv shows where they are at CES or SEMA talking about some new product... I guess if its a video review i want to see it do something. Dummy loads roasting coffee or something??
