The Denon has got quite a lot more power onboard than the Yammy does, and it's like someone else said - better to have plenty of headroom and not use the amp to its fullest rather than overworking the amp and getting distorted sound. It also have the same setup facilities as the Denons at this time I think, with a graphical view of the room, setup for each speakers etc.Īnother reason I'm thinking of reconsidering is also the fact that I ended up going a lot heavier on the speakers than I originally planned to do. I must say THX certs haven't bothered me in the past as you were basically paying a grand for a logo on the amp (ok, that can be discussed, but you get my point) - this has changed slightly now though when, as I understand it, real EX can only be aquired having the THX cert. The new AZ1 has all the new formats aswell, not THX Ultra II certified though. I'm the one who'll be using it in the end, just looking for a few more opinions before I make up my mind. My money would be on the Denon (not biased in any way of course!! )Īs mentioned before, its down to you in the end. The A1SR will also have ALL the latest formats, THX Ultra 2 etc and also the fastest processors available, only bettered by Lexicon and Meridian. The Denons are much more flexible allowing for the fact you might not have the speakers in the perfect positions. The Yamaha I had, you could only enter a millisecond time but not for individual speakers. With the Denon you just key in the distance you are from each speaker and it does the rest. The Yamahas value seem to drop fairly quickly.Īnother thing which I´m not sure if the Yamahas have yet (they didnt when I had one) is things like speaker delays, independent memory settings for each mode etc. But as Mark said only you can decide if the extra features etc are worth the money over the Yamaha.Ī couple of things to consider, Denons hold their value very well as you dont get that many coming available 2nd hand. The Denons are excellent amplifiers (I´ve got the A1SE).
