That's got such a warm, natural tone to it. You hit the sweet spot with that simple up! Upload some more.

[@egoneoteo]

This made me goosebumps, thank you, I can't wait for my pair to arrive

[@Sergei__v]

What a mellow, pleasant speaker with just enough drive and punch.

[@joshuawang5859]

Warm and comfortable sound

[@Calvin_Yip]

joshua wang . Yes. Pretty warmly sound in traditional Britain style.

[@bobbyhappy9799]

哈！呢隻碟真係人手一張！ 好耐無攞出嚟聽，現在聽番真係有啲感動！ 我覺得這套Denton組合整體聲音更自然，更勝您後來的ProAc T10S，尤其是樂器像真度和活生感。

[@Calvin_Yip]

因為Denton 聲底厚D，音樂感濃D。10仔定位同分析力同高頻清脆D，女人聲比較強。

[@bobbyhappy9799]

@@Calvin_Yip 係，10仔用803推女聲幾好聽，不過hifi味重無Denton咁自然..

[@DeZug]

@@Calvin_Yip 師兄請教一下聽女聲甜暖向應該買Denton 80還是85好 ? 謝謝

[@hushpuppykl]

I must say that the RN803 is a great all in one solution. Price is right. MusicCast works great. Sound is good.

[@Mike82ARP]

I bought pair of these when they went on sale t Music Direct. Outstanding speakers for the $$$!!! They do nothing wrong. The sound is lush, and warm without getting thick. Not the final word on resolution, but you'd have t spend 2x the original retail to get any noticeable improvement. I gave them to my son who loves them with his Yamaha integrated amp. And, unless you're abass freak, you won't need a sub.

[@Calvin_Yip]

Mike Masztal me 2, I got a brand new in half price when the having promotion offer in 50% discount by the authorised dealer in 2018. This stuff is valued for money.

[@davidcheung6748]

Me too 3 weeks ago, and love them👏👍

[@wicomms]

Bro .. someone commented that it has a boxy sound? And did you compare this with the Lintons 85?

[@cr3161]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

[@6969tomahawk]

Great amp. I wonder if it goes well with my b and w 603s speakers

[@canigetanyofyoucuntsadrink8043]

I love my Denton’s just got some high end stands and audioquest speaker cables for them. I drive mine with the Cambridge cxa60

[@Calvin_Yip]

No HI-FI No life Hi ~ I also using AQ speaker cables bi-wired to them too. ^^

[@canigetanyofyoucuntsadrink8043]

Calvin Yip good deal man, every try the blue jean cables? The canare 4s11 with locking banana plugs have me curious.

[@canigetanyofyoucuntsadrink8043]

Calvin Yip also are you considering a sub with these? I am. I’m thinking the svs 1000

[@Calvin_Yip]

No HI-FI No life I using Midnight now and I am looking for oldest version - AQ Clear. I think the vintage cables have much value of money .

[@Calvin_Yip]

No HI-FI No life Frankly Speaking. in my point of view, this stuff no need add sub, the bass is enough for normal listening. unless you wanna use 2.1 system for movie.

[@zorankalina6100]

Such a nice...easy listening sound....yust a bit to much of bass, trough bluethooth headphones.....but a bit and maybe welcomed for a lot of people. Full, round...a lot of detailes Can be that dinamics are sacrefise too....a bit In all....think, sound will be nice for most of listeners......not as monitors, kinde of drie, quick...precise....which is good for sound enginering, maybe🙂 Nice👍

[@chiangkenglim9664]

Nice warm sound. Have you try using the direct DSD Files playback like dsf?

[@Calvin_Yip]

Chiang Keng Lim Thx, I have not try NAS yet, just use AirPlay and Steaming only. How about this? Let you compare the sound. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJaooal3psR0hLc

[@chiangkenglim9664]

@@Calvin_Yip oh that is nice, definitely the signal sounds more "stand out" and wholesome, nice one man!

[@audiodoc1840]

smoother sound but not deep bass that what my ear tell when i in audition but you maybe don't need subwoofer because it has a lot of bass but not as deep as klipsch rp 160m but they mids and high of denton no one can touch in their price range

[@Calvin_Yip]

AudioDoc : Absolutely agree to your comment.

[@audiodoc1840]

@@Calvin_Yip yeah the mid and the high is so crisp but the issue for the person that play rock metal this is not right speaker they must go to klipsch rp160m bigger sound stage but we are audiophile so we don't actually play bass song we are much focus in or how mids and high sound we are audiophile so bass not the issue. my set up is sonus faber venere 2.5 and marantz don't need mcintosh it hell expensive and if i buy it it's more expensive than my speaker it's basically not practical. but maybe if my speaker is sonus faber aida iam gonna buy it but for mine it's actually paired perfectly don't need mcintosh for venere only. sonus faber is my most natural sound i ever heard and i think it's more natural than b&w i don't like much the b&w because how they sound their high and mids are too much but it's high end audio and expensive too

[@amlecciones]

Are the highs crisp and do they roll off too much?

[@wim1983]

Match with an amp then boost mid a little bit, but have prominent bass, like Class D, then you will not say the bass is not deep...

[@bobbyhill1156]

Hi! I have a question regarding this receiver. I notice that the cheaper models as the R-N402 and the R-N602, have bluetooth transmiter as well. So basically it can connect to a pair of bluetooth headphones. But i can't find this information regarding this model. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

[@Calvin_Yip]

You may try to access it thru the Yamaha MusicCast APP 😉

Nice Yamaha, can they play A and B at the same time?

[@garysvinyldungeon2764]

yes

[@cd-rom.]

Garys Vinyl Dungeon lol better late than never. The Yamaha is now in my home and playing A and B at the same time.

[@audiosaurus6511]

How is the build quality of the Yamaha?

[@Calvin_Yip]

Audio Saurus Good quality of build!

[@Calvin_Yip]

Audio Saurus except the volume knob

[@audiosaurus6511]

Is it loose, or does it jump up and down in volume to much?

[@Calvin_Yip]

Audio Saurus nup. Just plastic not metal knob made

[@audiosaurus6511]

Do you think this product can last 10-15 years?

[@hushpuppykl]

I must say that the RN803 is a great all in one solution. Price is right. MusicCast works great. Sound is good.
