The sound quality is great!!!!

The sound quality is fantastic! Setting up was pretty straightforward, except for configuring speakers for zone 2 or 3 � still working on that, the manual isn't too clear. I've been loyal to Onkyo for about two decades, but I decided to give Denon a shot. The sound blows my old Onkyo units out of the water, and the picture quality is simply stunning � vibrant colors and all. Streaming with HEOS is smooth sailing. Initially, my wife wasn't convinced we needed a replacement since the old Onkyo still works. However, she's now on board and sees it as a fantastic upgrade rather than just a want. Once I figure out zone 2, this AVR will be perfect. Denon has exceeded my expectations with this product. If you're contemplating the AVR-X8500HA, just go for it!

I've been loyal to Onkyo for about two decades, but I decided to give Denon a shot. The sound blows my old Onkyo units out of the water, and the picture quality is simply stunning � vibrant colors and all. Streaming with HEOS is smooth sailing. Initially, my wife wasn't convinced we needed a replacement since the old Onkyo still works. However, she's now on board and sees it as a fantastic upgrade rather than just a want. Once I figure out zone 2, this AVR will be perfect. Denon has exceeded my expectations with this product. If you're contemplating the AVR-X8500HA, just go for it!
