Denon, long a trailblazer in the audio-visual realm, has taken the wraps off its latest premium home cinema amplifier, the AVC-X6800H.
Building on 110 years of expertise, this drool-worthy debutant is designed for audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of AV luxury, and it doesn’t skimp on specification.
The AVC-X6800H supports 7680 x 4320 resolution across all seven of its HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, future-proofing it for an 8k future. It’s also ready for High Frame Rate gaming, with universal 4k 120HZ support when gaming from a PlayStation 5 and Xbox.
This Denon behemoth is ideal for larger media rooms as well as dedicated home theatres. It offers 11.4 channels of amplification, rated at 205W each, and is compatible with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro 3D audio. It’s also been certified as IMAX Enhanced, which can only be a good thing.
For enthusiasts craving even more surround sound, the system can process up to 13.4 channels with additional amplification.

The AVC-X6800H isn’t just a powerhouse; it’s a precision instrument, with the ability to operate as an AV preamplifier. It’s preamp mode promises a cleaner signal path, and allows the box to be partnered with even more extreme amplification.
For lesser sources, be it regular 5.1 or even stereo, audio upscaling is available through Dolby Audio, DTS Neural:X, and Auro-Matic, adding an extra immersive layer of richness to any listening experience.
Ideal for UHD Blu-ray, UHD TV boxes and premium streaming services, HLG, HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dynamic HDR are all supported. The inclusion of HEOS ecosystem connectivity also ensures seamless access to streaming music services, and whole home audio with compatible HEOS connected speakers and sound systems.
Installation is aided by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 calibration, with intuitive on screen graphics to help set things up.
If you like the look of this epitome of Denon home cinema heaven, and we surely do, it sells for £3,000.
