Denon AVR-X3600H review
The Denon AVR-X3600H 9.2-channel AV receiver with nine discrete amplifiers on board is capable of decoding DTS: X and Dolby Atmos object-oriented 3D sound formats. The output power is 180 watts per channel (6 ohms). A full set of analog and digital inputs (among which there is also a special input for a vinyl player) will allow you to build a universal system based on the AV receiver for listening to music from various sources. Denon AVR-X3600H has an assertive and dynamic sound, as well as a very well-chosen set of functions, which, given the quite reasonable cost, makes it a very profitable acquisition.

- This is a big heavy receiver that has most of the latest extras people are looking for
