Denon Total Harmonic Distortion [THD]

[Teetertotter?]

I looked at 3 Denon AVRs, with having the same audio specs. I currently have, their 5 year old S-960, and looking at their X1700 and X2800, all with the same audio spec. With having the same audio specs, does that mean the units will all produce the same sound output? Meaning, will the bass, mids, and highs, produce the same sounds through my speakers? Is there something that the audio could be different in each AVR.?

Denon got back to say that audio software can be different, which was the case with S960 and the X1700. X1700 software is better and AVR available at Denon website. I might buy, as within my budget. There was one reputable YT reviewer that had tested the S-960 in a separate review and said the S-960 was audio junk, Later, he reviewed the X1700 and audio was a world of difference over the S-960.

Who is this 'reputable' YT reviewer?
