Hot on the heels of its recent unveiling of a new convenience-focused AVR-S980H AV receiver, Denon has now taken the wraps off two new additions to its acclaimed X series of AVRs.
The AVC-X3900H and AVR-X2900H are designed with discerning home theater enthusiasts and custom integrators in mind, combining claimed high performance standards with such premium features as advanced calibration options, flexible system configuration, and unusually far-reaching controls for dedicated home theater and whole-home audio installations.
Both of the new models are also claimed to deliver Denon’s “Performance DNA” thanks to updated internal components and a high-performance 32-bit multi-channel DAC architecture, and the fact that each model has been developed and tuned at Denon’s famed Shirakawa Audio Works facility in Japan under the watchful ear of the “Denon Sound Master”. The resulting mix of precise measurements and careful subjective listening is claimed to have achieved a sound that feels open, dynamic and engaging, in keeping with Denon’s signature sound, regardless of whether you’re watching a film or listening to music.
