    Denon AVR-4806

    Maybe the German-English translator is hosed, but I beleive it reads the 4806 amp is more dynamic and "faster". Thats pretty funny and of course untrue. The only major advantages of the 4806 over the 5805 are: cost and analog video upconversion to HDMI with OSD (5805 will be firmware upgraded...

    Question about Sunfire amp vs. Sherbourn and Emotiva

    The Sunfire amp uses a track down converter and Class H topology to increase efficiency. It also uses a common power supply as opposed to individual supplies for each channel like the Sherbourn and EMO. This explains much of the weight differences. Despite what the literature claims, the...

    Onkyo TXNR1000

    No since we did an exhaustive review of the Integra Research RDC-7.1 which is nearly identical except the lack of internal amplifiers.

    Bi Wiring

    I would shy away from the "Current Source" output. All it does it stick a 1 ohm resistor in series with the power outputs which will raise the amplifier output impedance, destroy damping factor, create unnecessary losses, potentially roll off the top end and cause frequency response varations.

    biwire ?

    No, you are confusing biwiring with biamping. For more info on biwiring please refer to the past thread discussions: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/search.php?searchid=279133 Regarding Biamping: There are some benefits if you are biamping with identical amps in the system. By doing...

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    The Audyssey system is specifically designed to work within the dynamic limits of the AVR-5805. I don't believe it would allow enough boost that would limit the dynamic range of the system and compromise its THX certification. Also the boost it may exhibit at particular frequencies is not a...

    Here are the New Denon HTR Receiver Series Similar to the new AVR Series but less custom features such as added multi room sources, the HTR represents their high value line up for folks whose primary focus is on the main zone of audio – the theater room if you will.

    Not really. The 5805's more immense power supply and other amp tweaks make it superior to the 5803's.

    Audioquest?

    Price really isn't an issue with cables. For a very minimal cost you can design an interconnect with low capacitance, plenty of shielding and solid terminations. The cosmetics and marketing appeal is usually what drives the outlandish prices and psuedo science claims.

    Audioquest?

    Then it looks like I need to fire myself :p Even 5-7% might not be very good advice since the law of diminishing returns happen much quicker than it does with electronics and speakers. It is also difficult to know how much cabling a person would need for their application so it must be...

    Actually the amp section of the 5805 are not your run of the mill receiver amps. I would put them up against pretty much any 7CH amp in the 2-3k price range. Not only are they powerful, but more importantly have excellent signal to noise ratio, linearity, low output impedance and distortion...
