How does this compare to the 4311ci by denon ? does audessy support 11.2?

I'm not familiar with the features of the AVR-4311ci, but this particular AVR-4520CI is set up with a DBT-3313UDCI media player and a Panasonic PT-AE8000U projector in a dedicated theater in a 7.2 with a zone 2 and zone 3 configuration. The Audyssey MultEQ XT32 on this AVR-4520CI supports up to 9.2 channels for surround playback. I believe Denon would be able to answer you question about 11.2.

The 4520 has Audyssey XT32 which is a HUGE improvement and yes it supports 11.2.

I was in the market for a new AVR earlier this year. I bought a Sony locally on sale and returned it as I wasn't happy with the sound. I ran it side by side with an older Denon and just felt the Denon produced clearer, more natural sound with both movies and CDs I know well. Even though the Sony had the features I wanted, the sound quality just wasn't there to my ears and I bought a new Denon. If you can, take a CD you know well to a stereo shop and try a side by side comparason for yourself (with the same speakers or headphones.) You may find you prefer one or the other. After all, isn't the sound quality the most important attribute? I was in the market for a new AVR earlier this year. I bought a Sony locally on sale and returned it as I wasn't happy with the sound.

You're right, my bad, I have a bad memory when it comes to that stuff. I just remembered that Denon merged with Marantz, not Panasonic.

I have a Denon AVR-1912. Though it may seem expensive, it is very clean on sound quality and it is very powerful, and jam packed with useful features. I also use it with the Klipsch HD 500 and a pair of old KG 1's by Klipsch (Remember those?) and they sound wonderful. I have also an old 1980's amplifier by Denon that I use on a daily basis , and it still works wonderfully. I have had the AVR-1912 for a while now, and I don't see myself changing the receiver soon. I love Denon products, and they deserve consideration. The AVR-1912 isn't the only option, as other receivers by that company are cheaper, and sound well, but the 1912 is known by many sites as a very good receiver. Short term- Expensive Very Great sounding Long Term- Great Deal (Hopefully) Hope this helps!

The 7030's D/A conversion is excellent. I hooked mine up to the analog inputs (&gt;100db A s/n) of my recycled old 6.0 a/v receiver with 3 ft KabelDirekt RCA/RCA, a big $12 via Prime. Works great! Save your digital inputs for BD, etc.

I just bought the speakers and paired them with Denon AVR-S500BT; awesome. The price is similar to Onkyo but Denon has the auto calibration tool. The setup is also very easy, just another option for you to consider.Either way, it should work.

I currently have that combination (running Synology USB-out &gt; NAD 7050 USB-in &gt; KEF LS50). It works really well and the sound is great. But my setup is near-field in a small space. But even there, I almost find 7050 to be a bit under-powered. Depending on the type of music I am listening to, at times I need to turn up the volume on, for example, some classical music way up, going into +dB side on the meter. For my space this combination works well and the sound I am getting is stunning. But the speakers can easily handle much much larger space -- just not with the 7050. If I needed more flexibility to be able to also use the speakers in larger space, I would get more powerful amp. BTW, the 7050 also has a plug for headphones -- that was one of the reasons why I got it. Unfortunately, that headphone amp seems to be completely different from the speaker amp and way under-powered -- it can't drive my AKG-Q701 phones. I still have to use a separate DAC/Amp for headphones. Luckily, I am enjoying the sound from LS50 way more, so the headphones don't get too much use these days. :-)

Does the Audyssey Dynamic Volume work for keeping commercials from overpowering shows? I am in the same boat as you i'm looking to purchase an av receiver and have it narrowed down to three any help would be great. I use the receiver for music tv and blue ray. I'm trying to decide between the Onkyo 507 the pioneer vsx-819 and the denon avr-589. I see that people seem to prefer the onkyo's whats the deal with that?

I don't know but Denon has a tech help phone number on their web site. I called them for help in setting up my multiroom setup. They were very helpful.

I'm sorry I really don't know about the Denon DP 11-F. What I can tell you is that the Grado sounds great, it does however have somewhat of a rolled off top end. > 10k Hz.

The only thing Denon calls out is "6 (3D/1080p/4K Ultra HD)". The replacement model does call out HDMI 2.0. Based on that, I'd say probably say no.

A quick search on Google would be a great place to start. Mostly the difference is age...the 475 is the newer model. Aside from that the 475 has one additional HDMI input. It can also interface with Pandora (although with a firmware upgrade the 473 might be able to do that). I found this by a quick Google search which led me to Yamaha's website with a comparison: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx/?selected=372793_447955_&mode=compare

Just finished setting up my 507 over the weekend, it sounds great, love it for the price, it should enough power for most of the home theather system. It support 5.1 only, if you want 7.2 then should go with the 607. I had been research, compare the similar features and price range receiver such as Yamaha, Denon, Sony, etc, and read a lot of customer review, I finally settle with the 507, I am not regret at all. Good luck.
