DENON’S AVR-X6700H, made in Japan, is one of four new models in the company’s X-Series A/V receiver family. The new models start at $849 for the AVR-X2700H and extend up to $2,499 for the AVR-X6700H under review here. (The company’s current $4,000 AVR-X8500H carries on as the X-Series flagship.) The AVR- X6700H is notable for its next-gen HDMI 2.1 connectivity, which supports pass-through of 8K video and multiple gaming-oriented features.
FEATURES
The AVR-X6700H packs 11 onboard channels of class-A/B amplification. That’s enough to cover a 5.2.6 system or 7.2.4 system, or the 5.2.4 one I used with two channels left over for other applications such as bi-amping the left and right front speakers or powering a second audio zone.
The Denon has two additional, fully functional preamp outputs, increasing its total processing power to 13 channels with the addition of an outboard stereo amp. There’s a pair of independently adjustable line-level outputs for powered subwoofers, though for my evaluation I used just one, with a Y splitter, to drive two subs.
With the X6700H rated at 140 watts per channel into 8 ohms (20Hz-20kHz, two channels driven) most users won’t require more power. Though not specified, Denon states that its receivers can drive five channels with at least 70 percent of rated two-channel power (about 100 Wpc for this model). The X6700H has Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room equalization. When I employed Audyssey for this review, I used just basic EQ without Audyssey’s other features: Dynamic EQ, Dynamic Volume, and Low Frequency Containment. All of these are selectable on the Denon, and there’s an optional $20 Audyssey Editor App that brings additional flexibility.

Pinnacle Picture Performance
IT IS a small miracle that you can buy a TV as good as the 77-inch Samsung S90C Quantum Dot OLED for $2500.
AV Masterpiece
THE AV PROCESSOR is the less well-known sibling of the AV receiver. The main difference being that processors don't have built-in amplification.
Sit and Listen Streaming
FOR ANYONE who has been waiting for streaming music to be a high-quality sit-and-listen experience, the SVS Prime Wireless Pro SoundBase streaming integrated amp fits the bill.
Worth the Splurge?
AS A RULE I'm not particularly susceptible to the \"audio-jewelry\" school of component design; I'm a value/performance guy.
Focus on Gaming
OPTOMA BOASTS of being both the top 4K UHD projector brand globally and the number one Digital Light Processing (DLP) brand in the United States for 2022, citing the PMA Research Worldwide Projector Census, making the company no stranger to the world of projected light.
Sonic Surprise
OVER THE YEARS I've reviewed hundreds of audio and video products covering all the usual bases. But not up to now a soundbar.
Deep Concentration
IN THE realm of high-fidelity audio, the Bowers & Wilkins DB3D subwoofer offers a fusion of compact design and powerful performance.
When Less is More
MY EXPERIENCE with Bowers & Wilkins dates back over thirty years to my high school days, when I first admired the 801 Matrix in Stereophile magazine.
SHARP, BRIGHT, & BUDGET-FRIENDLY
IN JUST a few short years the home projector landscape has undergone a radical revolution in terms of price and selection.
They are Coming.I Can't Hold Them Back Any Longer.
This is my last communication. Outer walls breached. Door is splintering. Hinges giving way. Out of ammo. Just one grenade left. I'll take as many as I can with me. God have mercy on my soul.
