Denon AVR-3802 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel review: Denon AVR-3802 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel

 

Denon AVR-3802 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel

Great sound; impressive build quality; DTS ES 6.1 Discrete processing; seven 110-watt channels; bountiful features and connectivity options.

Lacks THX certification; tricky setup chores; poorly written owner's manual.

This receiver's stellar sound will appeal to demanding listeners.

Denon AVR-3802 Receiver

Being a stereo user, I've barely scratched the surface of what this amplifier can do - though I'm becoming increasingly curious! For stereo use the direct inputs allow the user to bypass the digital sound processing, and this to me is the only way to...

Un receiver como estos de Denon no lo volveremos a ver, manofacturado en Japón con muy buenos componentes de construcción, un sonido limpio y natural que hacen que los Energy RC-50 y Sunfire tengan un desempeño perfecto

Denon AVR-3802 A/V Receivers

 

denon's are reputed to be warm but i found this 3802 to be bright although quite accurate. also, it sends drum sounds etc to the rear speakers unlike my yammie which sends them across the soundstage in front of the listener.
