Denon’s new 8K AV receiver with Dolby Atmos is the pinnacle of high-end home theater equipment

Denon was the first brand to release an 8K AV receiver, and the latest 8K model is the most impressive we’ve heard yet in terms of power and connectivity. The Denon AVC-X6800H has seven HDMI inputs, two HDMI outputs and 11.4 channels of immersive spatial audio plus every conceivable type of connectivity and configuration.

As you can see from the photo, it looks good (and it looks just as good in black), but what’s really exciting here is the specification. We already consider Denon to be the best AV receiver manufacturer for most people, but the AVC-X6800H seems to tick every amplifier box we can think of – and although it has a fairly premium price of £3,000, it’s tough for assuming that you will ever need an upgrade.
