rebuy Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I decided to get a "modern" AVR for home. Since I don't have a big budget like some here--and after reading many reviews at Sound and Vision I decided to go with the Denon X1200W--7.2. It has all the Bells and Whistles and Baby ATMOS. Baby ATMOS is 7.2 instead of 9.2. The Audyssey Silver did a nice job setting up the sound for movies after taking readings at 8 locations. It also has a built in equalizer that works well. I was concerned that the sound would be a step down from my Harman Kardon. These Denon amps are clean and dynamic. I'm surprised how good they sound. They sound much better than my Yamaha or Onyko that I've owned. Set up was so Easy--even a caveman could do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm glad you like it. I have not owned a Denon now for over 5 years. I never new there was an Auddysee Silver. You learn something new being on this forum all the time. Congrats and enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same thing so I googled it. Quote As the first A/V receiver manufacturer to embrace Audyssey's advanced DSP audio algorithms, Denon has introduced the most Audyssey-equipped products, and the AVR-X1200W features the Audyssey Silver suite of DSP functions, which includes MultEQ XT, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume. Looks like there are different "Suites" of Audyssey that include different feature sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted October 16, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2016 Strangely, I'm only finding it if I google that Denon model number. It's on Denon's website but I'm not seeing it even on Audyssey's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Audyssey has stopped using that classification, sticking to feature sets (level of multeq, subeq ht, and maybe one or two others), maybe due to the phasing out of Audyssey Pro capability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted October 16, 2016 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2016 Gotcha. Rebuy, I forgot to say congrats on the new unit. I'm still using an older receiver, haven't moved to Atmos yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Congrats on the new Denon! I ran a Denon 3805 for a couple of years before switching to separates, really liked the sound over other brands I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
