Well the X5200 is £300 more so it isn't the same price range, plus we won't be getting a review sample from Denon for a while.
Well Atmos does allow for a pair of width speakers, so maybe a 7.1.2 configuration where the 7 is a normal 5.1 plus width rather than rear and two overhead.Steve can you just clarify something please. If playing back in Atmos can you still use the extra wide channels? I'm guessing not as these work through dsx, neo:x? Atmos sounds like a great idea but I love my wide channels which I'm not sure I could live without...
Could you not have added the X4100 to the mix (if you could get one)? That retails for around the same price.
We'll see what we can do but there's only a finite number of review samples and a lot of publications, so we can't always get them at the same time.Also would it not compete more with the LX78?
Well I'm on holiday next week, so it won't be until the week after.
Some seem to think because a model exists, AVF have it on hand for review, or can magically click fingers & hey presto! (I'm not referring to anybody here btw)We'll see what we can do but there's only a finite number of review samples and a lot of publications, so we can't always get them at the same time.
They won't always be though. Theres a hell of a lot of AV products still in teething mode with the new 4K market... Patiente...Yesssssss! Just in time to buy myself one for Xmas I've heard the X5200, SR7009 and the A3040 (albeit in different demo rooms) but I am eager to hear your thoughts. All had good/bad points and unfortunately none came close to the Auro demo I was given in what I think is the best demo room in the country (Pulse Marketing) but that is waaaaaaaaaaay out of my budget lol
I haven't heard anything yet.Good review, Steve.
Steve, are you aware of a new Denon pre/pro to be announced by D&M, and becoming available in 2015?
It was mentioned by someone on "the other forum" who spoke with a D&M rep at the Axpona Audio Expo (US) last April.
Yes, you could do that. The SR7009 has nine channels of amplification, so to do a full 7.1.4 (11 channels) you'll need two more channels.Great review!
Steve, if I want to go for a 7.1.4 system with Monitor Audio Trimless 200 in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, would Marantz PM6005 connected to pre-outs of the SR7009 work well?
