Denon AVR-1712 A/V Surround Receiver (Black) Reviews

I did not like the AVR-1912's internet features (Airplay etc.). However, I did like the way it sounded. So, I exchanged for a Denon AVR-1712 when they started shipping. It is cheaper than an AVR-1912 but has identical audio specs. When I got it, I compared 2 different speaker setups; 7.1 front-height vs. bi-amp front speakers with 5.1 surround. In my opinion, I got much better overall sound with the bi-amp setup on my floor-standing front speakers (5.1) than using them not bi-amped but with another pair of front-height (7.1) speakers. My conclusion was that a good reason to buy a 7.1 receiver instead of a 5.1 receiver is so you can bi-amp a set of speakers that has bi-amp capability. If I ever want to add internet stuff, I will use either a Roku box or a new HDTV with internet built in. Very happy with the sound, the radio, and being "future-proofed" with lots of HDMI inputs. 14 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Best low-end receiver I've ever owned, By Martin Eastport "Blue in Beantown" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Denon AVR-1712 A/V Surround Receiver (Black) (Electronics) If this receiver was over $700, I would have given it 4 stars because it's only weakness is that it wouldn't have enough power to blast-out a large room -- but I have it in a small home-theater so it's no problem and 5 stars for my needs. I've owned a Pioneer, Sony, Onkyo and now a Denon low-end receiver. The Pioneer I had was back in college, but I remember it favorably. The Sony had plenty of oomph, not much acuracy and died after 6 or 7 years. The Onkyo at 75 watts is OK now that I have it hooked up to a Polk soundbar along with a Polk sub. The Dennon beats them all. If you're looking to pay less than $500 and you like hearing more detail in your movies and music than you've ever heard in the past with other low-end systems, buy this receiver. For most listening needs at normally loud to not window-shattering volumes, you'll be blown away by this receiver. Do not waste time looking around for weeks like I did. If you have good speakers it will make them sound great and if...

Even my old box home theater speakers sounded much better when hooked to this thing. I like especially the ability to bi-amp. I have hooked my Klipsch VF-36's tower tweeters to the 'surround back' and the woofers to the 'front', and the sound quality is noticeably improved [though admittedly this is not scientific - could be all in my head]. I also got it on a special from Vann's at 25% off the going price of four Benjamins, shipped. Cons; the most annoying feature is the remote - truly difficult to figure out. It doesn't help that instructions are on a cd rom manual, which itself is rather tough to follow. I still can't get the damn thing to communicate with my TV or cable box [both relatively new]. I know saving money is the in thing for companies, but a $0.99 instructions book shouldn't kill profits. On screen menus also require getting used to. Hint: Do not do the sound test (speaker set up) at... Read more |
