I just was attackedI bought a DENON AVR in 1990, with Dahlquist 905-M's for the mains (& used my Frazier Super Monte Carlo's for surrounds & Radio Shack some kind of omni for the rears. (The DENON never sounded good to me) & neither did that particular aluminum box omni-directional Radio Shack speaker. The DENON is long gone (& I have never bought another piece of DENON gear again, although I have listened to some, I haven't heard one that I would buy).
I still use the Dahlquist's (mains in my main 2.2 system) & the Frazier's (mains in my secondary system). It's highly unlikely that I will ever buy any DENON gear ever again. That one piece them for me.
I have read Amirs reviews about Denon products. I don't have any technical issues with it. My room accoustics, sound curve on the app, are all good. I think the Denon amps I own..three now..all have an anemic, thin sound to them. Audessy corrects some dips in my room but again I find myself constantly adjusting it manually. Personally, if I had not read Amir's other reviews I would have sought a higher end avr. I bought an amp with Dirac and was thrilled with the software but the amp was very flawed and has reviewed poorly.I would only add that I own Marantz so I really can't comment on your Denon experience but to add,
Not sure which Denon you have but if you've read Amirs reviews on a couple of there latest AVR's you will see they have measured near the top of all tested, price no object, and the numbers don't lie.
The final sound of any product containing Digital Room Correction software will depend on the inputs from it's owner. Have you tried the $20 Editor app yet, it allows you much more control over the software. If you have, I honestly wouldn't look to another $200 to solve the issue. If yours really does sound that bad, maybe you need to ask the guy in the mirror what he might be doing wrong?
No offense intended.
