Question

Are entry level Denon recievers good?

Answer 1

An entry level Denon AV receiver is good for an entry level TV and speakers. If you have a medium or high end TV and speakers use an appropriate receiver. A balance system is the best set- up. An all budget system or an all high end system. Mixing will result in a poor performance as the high end system will expose the weakness of the budget equipment.

Answer 2

Currently, not really.  For what you pay for an entry level Denon, you could buy a Harman Kardon, or Yamaha receiver that decodes HDMI audio with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HDMA.  The Denon will only do passthrough.

The high-end Denons are awesome.

Answer 3

Denon, Onkyo, Yamaha are all good just depends on what it will be used for.

Answer 4

some are but it all depends on what features you are looking for and your price range and the application
