Denon AVR-5803

Denon AVR-5803

When I reviewed Denon's AVR-5800 audio/video receiver back in Issue 34, I concluded that AVR design had reached a pinnacle of features and performance. The Denon was so impressive that it went on to win The Perfect Vision's Product of the Year Award. How else does one reward a single component that includes every possible surround-decoding format, a massive complement of input and output connections, terrific sound quality, seven channels of 170W amplification, THX processing and certification, and the most friendly user interface in the industry?
