5.0 out of 5 stars Best A/V Receiver Anywhere, November 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Denon AVR5700 THX Audio/Video Receiver (Electronics)

This is my second Denon receiver, my first was the AVR-2700. Both are awesome receivers but the AVR-5700 has the capability to use up to 7 speakers instead of 5 and puts out 140 watts per channel. This lets you switch from bipolar surrounds for movies to direct radiating rears for AC-3 or 5 channel stereo. The 5 channel stereo mode is simply unbelievable. If you like listening to music as well as movies, this is the receiver for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Toy, October 25, 1999

The wife might give you grief....at least until you play her favorite movie through it. This thing is easy to set up, simple to operate and the results are astonishing. Plenty of power for all movies. Even at it's rather steep price, it is still a bargian - I'll have mine for twenty years (or until a better format comes out). Hoorah Denon; job well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Receiver from Heaven, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Denon AVR5700 THX Audio/Video Receiver (Electronics)

I've had this receiver for about a month and the features are endless... Absolutely incredible sound even at low volume.... The detail is extremely crisp and the bass is profound. The DSP simulation on this receiver is amazing and with a digital connection from a dvd or cd player you feel like you are in the middle of the concert hall or in the middle of the action when watching movies. The 5 channel stereo is heavenly and will make your favorite artist that much better.. I sampled alot of receivers before buying this one, so take advantage of my thorough investigation and spend the extra couple of bucks on this mammoth receiver. (weighs in excess of 50 Pounds) I picked up this receiver through a dealer on an auction site and got a killer deal on it and am glad that I did so. leaves a little extra money for those digital cables and such. A must buy for any Home Theater Enthusiast.
