Though it isn’t the newest AVR we’ve reviewed, we still recommend the Denon AVR-X2800H to people looking to take their first, or even second step, into the world of true home cinema, multi-speaker surround sound.
With it remaining a staple site in our comparative testing process we can confirm the Denon AVR-X2800H is a fantastic AVR and former What Hi-Fi? Award winner that will delight any home cinema fan looking to create a true surround sound setup.
Featuring nine channels of amplification and the ability to run up to 11.4 configurations alongside 8K support, plus three HDMI 2.1 inputs, the Denon AVR-X2800H is one of the most feature packed options you’ll find at this price. Its intuitive, user-friendly screen interface also makes it one of the easiest to use, hence why we particularly recommend it to people new to full home cinema setups.
VRR and ALMM support alongside the ability to run 4K@120Hz video at up to 40Gbps also make it a dab hand at next-generation gaming, on the off chance you also want to connect a PS5, Xbox Series X or modern PC to it.
But, most importantly it sounds great. Whether you’re enjoying the action packed Dune: Part 2’s soundtrack, the heated car chase in The Batman or bopping along to one of the numerous and brilliant songs in Little Shop of Horrors, the AVR-X2800H delivers an authoritative but spacious sound.
Hence why we stand by our AVR-X2800H review’s conclusion:
“The AVR-X2800H ups the ante with more HDMI 2.1 inputs, a new user-friendly interface and, most importantly, a more responsive, coherent and spacious sound. It retains Denon’s signature authoritative weight but refines and balances it with a bolder top end that can do better justice to both music and movies. With its onboard room calibration software and a modernised full-screen interface, it's relatively easy to use and well-equipped.”
