Anyone with even a passing interest in home cinema sound will know that a new Denon AV amplifier is exciting news. The AVC-X6800H is the sequel to the What Hi-Fi? Award-winning AVC-X6700H which was released back in 2020; so what has changed in the past four years?
While you might not be able to tell much from the outside, Denon is touting an assortment of upgrades under the hood, which means this AVR should outperform its predecessor while also delivering a smoother user experience and enhanced gaming specifications.
That all sounds like a winning combination to us; but can this amplifier deliver the goods in the most important category – sound performance?
Without diving into the intricacies of the global markets, we regret to inform prospective buyers that this year’s iteration of Denon’s flagship X-series AV amplifier is a fair bit more expensive than the previous model. It costs £2999, a considerable leap up from the £2299 at which we reviewed the Denon AVC-6700H.
The good news is that we are already seeing the price drop to around £2800 in the UK. And, to be fair, the price of the AVC-X6800H is in line with rival models on the market now. The four-star Pioneer VSA-LX805, for example, offers a comparable feature set for £3099.
