By GreggBzz I did a lot of research, like most of you will do, and determined that this was the best I could do with my budget. My primary concerns were sound quality and getting enough power for a large room (19' x 20') This does well in those regards, while you sacrifice in other areas. For this price you can't have everything! Pros: The components seem quality built. The receiver is heavy and well ventilated. The speakers are heavy and wooden. Everything is just sturdy. It shipped well packed in a heavy box. The amplifier itself is the same circuitry and power rating you'll find in more expensive Denon receivers, like the 591 and 1611. From what I gather it's THD and power compare well with more expensive models. It certainly does a good job with the included speakers. It will get ridiculous house party loud, no worries. The HDMI inputs gave no problems. Denon is sometimes noted for handshake problems, but I did not encounter any. I have a Motorola DVR, a Sony BDP-S570 blu-ray and a Samsung PNC50C450 and they all sync up perfectly. I did the latest firmware updates on each device prior to the Denon arriving. The sound is pretty tweak-able, if you have the patience. More on that later. The included speaker wires are long. Cons: Setting this thing up is tedious. There's no surround auto setup. You need to measure your speaker distances manually. You need to tweak the loudness of each speaker to your liking. They should all be equal. You need to specify the type of each speaker.. etc. The menus are not very intuitive. The included speaker wire is pretty thin 22 gauge. I suppose this is ok, but it seems fragile and I prefer some more durable, less resistive 16 gauge wire for the long runs in my room. You may want to play with the crossover frequencies also. Letting the sub handle everything below 200Hz provided the best results in my case. At first I thought the sound was muddy. I then did some research on room acoustics and speaker positioning. Most real experts (the ones that work in the field and/or adhere to the scientific method) agree that the room it's acoustics and the position of you and your speakers is the single most important variable in sound quality. I completely agree after re-positioning my speakers three times. The most significant change was moving the sub-woofer out of the corner and into the open. I also got some quality mounts. In conclusion, do some research, put your speakers in the right spots, work with the setup for 3 or 4 days until you get the sound you want and crank it up. After all that, holy cow! Crank it up! 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful. Excellent entry-level HTIB By Cordial I was deciding between Onkyo HT-S3300, Yamaha YHT-393BL, and Denon DHT-391XP. I went with Denon. What strikes me is the size of the speakers. They are big! The surround speakers are larger than Yamaha's and Onkyo's fronts, while the front, center and the sub are really big for an entry level system. And unlike Yamaha and Onkyo, Denon's speakers are wooden, though we're not talking hardwood here. Size of speakers was probably the one thing that Denon had as a clear advantage and eventually swayed my opinion, given that everyone was complaining about the mediocrity of Yamaha and Onkyo speakers. I gathered that the receivers are quite comparable and just didn't like the miniscule size of Onkyo and (especially) Yamaha speakers. When I was ordering the system, the person in the store said the Yamaha and Denon weren't actually comparable and that Denon was much better. Now, for the sound quality: I'm blown away by the sound quality and volume. Granted, my space is rather smallish. It's a corner in the lower floor of my house. It's about 11'x11'. I have a Panasonic 42' plasma and a FIOS. The bass is very strong and deep. I read some reviews where people complained about the
