Denon AVR-2309 review

Denon's mid-price AVR-2309 multichannel receiver is entering a cut-throat section of the market. Can it compete with established rivals?

No networking ; Strange remote ; Not at its best with ProLogic ; No dedicated Pure Direct mode ; Only 1 HDMI output

An impressive all-rounder, which is let down by a simplified spec but still delivers with some lively sound

A SOUND BUY CATERING FOR MOST OF TODAYS FORMAT MOUNTAIN

Apretty good performer so far. Only had it since just before Christmas so time will tell. I may add to this at a later date.

Independant Multi-zone functions, EQ capabilities, good number of HDMI inputs,dock control for iPods

Remote control back flap is weak and the tiny pips that hold it closed broke within a week so you cant put it down now without buttons touching a surface.
