Rated 4 out of 5 by from What's with the Remote ? Just opened the box, and the first thing I noticed was the weak remote? I love Denon and therefore bought the top dog receiver, but at a $2K price difference I expected the remote to be on par with the previous top dog receiver.

Questions

There is 150W into each of 2 channels, so 300W total. 15.4 channels. That's only 20Wpc (less, subs need a 10th/pow each). Is this correct?

Asked by: mikegariti81
Hello, That is not correct. Every channel is capable of reproducing up to 150 watts. We haven't tested and measured for 15 channels being driven all at the same time, not least because finding such source content is extremely difficult. The AVR-A1H is capable of delivering at least 70% of 150 watts for each channel with five channels being driven simultaneously. Most speakers demand a small fraction of that amount of power to go very loud in a regular domesitic setting. Either way, the AVR-A1H is well equipped to get the best out of a wide variety of loudspeaker.

Other than having 2 more channels does this provide any more output over the 8500?

Asked by: Ryno9999
This receiver is 150w x 15ch while I believe that the 8xxx was 110w x 13ch.

I own a marantz SR8015 but I want to replace it with the denon avr-a1h but am not sure if it is worth it is there a big difference?

Asked by: Juflo
I would add a critical difference and that is Denon uses a different Sound Master than Marantz’s to create their signature sound, and so overall it’s A different animal. You might want to listen to both at a store to hear the differences in sound to see if it’s a fit. Maybe compare the Cinema 40 Marantz if you can.

What is the price to upgrade to Dirac?

Asked by: MikeysMadispop
Hello, There are two upgrade options with Dirac Live: 1. $269.00 allows for correction up to 500Hz. This option is popular because frequencies below 500Hz are considered the toughest to manage. 2. $349.00 provides adjustments for the full bandwidth.
