Quality + Options + Price = Denon AVR-2801

Pros Great quality and value
Cons Takes a while to learn the remote
Recommended it? Yes

Introduction

First of all, I do not consider myself an audiophile or an audio/video expert. My main reason for purchasing the Denon AVR-2801 was to build my first home theater system. I wanted something that was affordable and had room for expansion. I shopped around and did my homework... Read full review »

Denon AVR-2801: A Very Popular Choice, Is It Better Than Marantz?

bysoupcraze Jun 14, 2001
33 Helpfuls 34 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Sounds Great, Plenty of Features, Packed With Power
Cons Harder To Use Than Some Other Receivers
Recommended it? Yes

The Denon AVR-2801 is one of today's hottest A/V recievers on the market. It has a high MSRP, but you can find it in the $400 price range. Denon is a well respected brand, I consider it to be in the "Big Three" consumer audio companies. Those companies are Onkyo, Marantz, and Denon. Onkyo didn't... Read full review »

Pros Multiple inputs and outputs, Denon quality
Cons Flexibility causes a steep learning curve to operate.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently went absolutely nuts researching to find a good audio receiver. I kept scouring web sites, tested equipment in stores, read audio and home theater magazines and talked with people. I considered spending more money but then thought about my last receiver, a Pioneer, which lasted eight... Read full review »

Denon AVR-1801: an excellent value

bynewmanb Dec 23, 2000
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Value, sound quality, construction
Cons coaxial input performance, shipping carton
Recommended it? Yes

Well, there's no slot for the AVR-1801, so I'm putting this opinion here since if you are looking at the 2801, you are probably looking at the 1801 also. The Denon AVR-1801 is a great performer, and when price is considered it is a fantastic buy. The initial impression was not a good one. For some... Read full review »

Pros Powerful, Simple to Use, Ready for all the Newest Consumer Electronic Gadgets
Cons Big in size -- you'll need some space to fit this thing...
Recommended it? Yes

Do you think you'll still be using that Watchman at the next decade turn? What about the XBox game unit, bet that will be out of date in 10 years. Not so with this Denon AVR-2801 Dolby Digital/DTS Receiver. It is powerful, simple to set up, ready for all the latest sound-creating gadgets, and no... Read full review »

Pros Sound in stereo and surround is great. Great screen menu.
Cons Speaker terminals too close. Remote
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this unit brand new from a friend who decided to upgrade to a Denon 5800. This is everything I wanted in a receiver, and a lot more.

Sound and Build Quality

First off, the sound quality is amazing - it's an excellent for listening to music AND... Read full review »

Pros Excellent sound quality, build quality, durability, and price
Cons Most configurations can only be accomplished with the On-Screen Display OSD.
Recommended it? Yes

Back in Dec. 2000, I decided to upgrade my 2 channel stereo system into a home-theater. I figured the receiver and speakers were the biggest factors in a HT setup, so I decided I didn't want to skimp in these areas. I started out searching the net for opinions and recommendations on various... Read full review »

Pros High Power, Great Price, *Incredible sound*
Cons Main features only configurable via TV.
Recommended it? Yes

Well, once again I decided to purchase an item from a realm I knew nearly nothing about: AV receivers. I originally went into this whole adventure looking for a complete 5.1 digital system, complete with 5 speakers, subwoofer, and of course, a high-end receiver.

I have a friend at work... Read full review »

Pros Unbelievable sound quality, plenty of power, all of this for only $$$$!
Cons Poor ergonomics of remote
Recommended it? Yes

I looked at dozens of receivers after reading reviews online and in print. I listened to literally dozens and found the best sound was had by the 2801. It sounded much more transparent than any of the competitors. Many of the others had bright and sometimes harsh coloration of the recordings. The... Read full review »
