Denon is fighting back. Having had its mainstream nose bloodied by Japanese rival Onkyo throughout 2007, and then been wrong-footed by Yamaha and Pioneer in the rush to claim the new high-ground for super-high-end integrated amps and receivers – not to mention coming under pressure from D&M stablemate Marantz – it’s unveiled its latest proposition: the AVC-A1HD: a networkable THX Ultra2 amplifier (with both 802.11b/g wireless wi-fi and Ethernet) which threatens to take no prisoners.

With its higher price, Denon's AVR-2807 is a sophisticated model, with a powerful seven-channel amplifier capable of delivering an impressive 110W to each channel.

The AVR-2807 is the latest in a wide range of Denon multichannel amps and receivers that seems to cover just about every possible requirement at almost every price level
