2018 Best Home Cinema Amplifier Over £1500
“ Denon has made tweaks to further this model’s sonic authority – and there’s no greater praise than it replacing our reference home cinema amp. ”
Premium 11.2 channel AV Surround Amplifier with monolithic amplifier design, all 3D audio formats built-in, and unparalleled music playback options, thanks to HEOS technology and Amazon Alexa voice compatibility for seamless control. Enjoy the most complete surround sound experience with latest audio formats Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D built-in. Most remarkably, the 11 channel amplification allows for setting up a full 7.2.4 3D experience without the need of an external amplifier.
The AVC-X6500H features a sophisticated power amplifier section with 11 channels in a monolithic amplifier design for ultimate clarity and power. Each channel is rated at 205 watts and all channels are able to safely drive lower impedance speakers (down to 4 ohms). There’s also an Auto Eco mode that adjusts the maximum power available according to the volume level as well as an on-screen Eco meter that lets you see the power consumption reduction in real time.
AL32 Processing Multi-channel provides ultra-high-resolution digital audio filtering and precision for all audio channels, to deliver a natural soundstage with enhanced imaging. For contents recorded in multi-channel such as Blu-ray discs, the recorded low frequency effects (LFE) may be out of synch and delayed. Bass Sync technology corrects such a delay of low frequency effects for the perfect audio experience.
Ask Alexa to play music from Amazon Music, Spotify, and more. You can also turn the volume up or down, pause, mute and play the next song all with your voice. To start streaming with Alexa voice commands, open the Alexa app and select “Skills.” Add HEOS Home Entertainment to enable. Then, go to Smart Home in the Alexa app menu and choose Devices and Discover or say “Alexa, discover my devices.” With HEOS Home Entertainment and Alexa, you can stream to this product and any other HEOS-enabled device.
DTS:X immersive audio places sound where it would occur naturally in space, creating a lifelike, multi-dimensional audio experience in the home.

The included spatial remapping engine, DTS Neural:X, gives your movie, game and music collections a new lease on life! With DTS Virtual:X you can enjoy an 3D audio experience even without installed overhead speakers. DTS:X brings the theatre home.
Feel every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Dolby Atmos transports you into the story with moving audio that flows all around you with breathtaking realism.
