Denon AVR-S770H & AVR-S970H Home Theater Receiver Comparison

[@lukespencer2162]

I've loved Denon since I was a kid playing with my dad's DRA-700 Precision Audio Tuner/Amp in the 1980's. I am so happy to see them continuing to produce excellent products!

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, we remember that model well!

[@jimwilliamson7798]

Another solid review Audio Advice. Nice job.

[@AudioAdvice]

Much appreciated!

[@mikehayes1404]

I have liked Denon for years! Great set of products to choose from!

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, they make some great gear!

[@chrisgargiulo304]

I have always loved Denon's receivers.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for sharing!

[@JohnLim-n7f]

A lot of great insight here!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thank you very much!

[@sethfm9773]

Denon provides a lot of value in their receivers. Great comparison between these AVRs.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks very much!

[@martybrazill7935]

Great value in both these receivers! Thanks for the review.

[@AudioAdvice]

Glad you like them!

[@michaelglenn2399]

Great insight on some midrange AVRs! Love what Denon brings to the table.

[@AudioAdvice]

Glad you liked it!

[@shanejohnson495]

How does the 970 compare to the x2800H?

[@AudioAdvice]

Chat or call our team at audioadvice.com and they can help you with the sound differences

[@pcpanikMusik]

Any Idea what’s the difference between the S770H and the X1800H, except the front buttons? Both cost the same here in europe and it seems that they have the same specs.

[@AudioAdvice]

The 1800 is a better unit, they are priced pretty far apart here in the US, if they are the same where you are, get the 1800. Thanks for watching

[@pcpanikMusik]

@@AudioAdvice Thank you for your fast answer and advice. Appreciated.

[@MaestroPrep]

What is the actual difference between the S and the X series? is the actual sound different?

[@AudioAdvice]

[@Goanaut218]

Yes, the sound of the S970 is warm and full and simply gives more bass to the satellites... I also had the x2800 and even though the x series is supposed to be better, I decided on the s970... simple reason... rich warmer sound...the x2800 sounds cold and has far too much treble...that makes it seem clearer...too clear...you have more details but it just doesn't let you feel the music and film...

[@MaestroPrep]

Thank you! that actually helps me a lot! To hear tubeaudio folks review.. there is a huge gulf between the two in sound quality! But your review seems to say otherwise... Thank you!@@Goanaut218

[@jpsilvashy]

is this a dumb question, but can I just use it in 2 channel mode? Lets say I have just 2 bookshelfs.

[@AudioAdvice]

You certainly can. Thanks for watching

[@jpsilvashy]

@@AudioAdvice Thanks! just set it up, the setup assistant and mic it comes with was very cool for someone that hasent setup a receiver in 15 years ha

[@Sparkymike69]

Can you setup this reciever without a t. V. Or smart t. V.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, using the on screen, but it is not as easy as with a TV. Thanks for watching

[@jamesmacintyre1415]

So would it be good replacement for Harmon Kardon AVR 130 running nuance n309 baby's and spacial 3s hard to find what newcavr will drive these speakers properly

[@AudioAdvice]

We can not find any specs on your speakers. If their sensitivity is 89dB or higher, either of these would be fine.

[@jamesmacintyre1415]

@@AudioAdvice thank you I've been trying to find info as well hate to replace them as they still sound and look brand new

[@JohnDobak]

1:52 HDR 10+ appears twice.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for the catch

[@ABDULLAH.84]

Hi, do you recommend this model, S960 or S970?

[@AudioAdvice]

970 is the new model. If you can find a great deal on a close out 960 that would be a good option.

[@LuckyClipsLC]

Is the s770h good enough to power the polk es55s with es30 center?

[@AudioAdvice]

It would but we would suggest the 970

[@Karnyelradal]

Marantz Cinema 40 Vs. Onkyo TX-RZ70, who's the best for movies (Atmos) and music? Speakers 7.2.4 all Klipsch Premiere, front speakers RP-8000F II.

[@AudioAdvice]

Both are very good, please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to discuss. Thanks for watching

[@richiecapuccino9853]

My Denon AVR-x3400h just died. I can get the Denon AVR-970H for a little over $500 from Bestbuy or was looking at the JBL MA 710 for like $800 is the JBL worth the extra cash?

[@AudioAdvice]

Neither of those will sound as good as your 3400. You should get the best one you can afford. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to help with your decision. Thanks for watching

[@marshallgoldberg8376]

90 watts per channel for… 2 channels or all 7?

[@AudioAdvice]

2 channels

[@xxsekoxx]

$500 budget. New 7.2 system in new house. 3 front, two above, 2 back. Is the S770H the best for my budget?

[@AudioAdvice]

Probably, yes. Thanks for watching

Thanks!

[@myaacount]

I am missing 7.1 MULTI-CHANNEL inputs in these receivers :((

[@AudioAdvice]

Not at this price point, no. Thanks for watching

[@myaacount]

@@AudioAdvice my old ONKYO 494 have all Multi-Channel inputs :(

[@VYASDEVGAMINGAndvlog2012]

👍👍👍👍

[@AudioAdvice]

Thank you!

[@johnciszewski7580]

Like how he trashes the 770, will not buy

[@AudioAdvice]

We just pointed out the 970 is a much better value in our opinion. Thanks for watching
