Denon AVR-4306 ( silver)

Review summary If we had a bone to pick with Denon's hugely popular A/V receiver lineup, it would be the lack of upper-midrange models. So the $1,999 Denon AVR-4306's mission was clear: fill the price and performance gap that existed between the highly...

Incredibly well-featured 7.1-channel receiver; excellent sound quality; three HDMI inputs; converts analog video to HDMI output; upconverts analog video to 720p/1080i HD resolution; iPod and USB MP3 player connectivity; Internet radio and MP3/WMA...

Expensive; intimidating complexity may put off home-theater newbies; no built-in decoding for next-gen HD-DVD and Blu-ray audio formats; no HD Radio.

The Denon AVR-4306 offers the best combination of cutting-edge features and superb sound quality of any receiver that we've ever tested.

Denon AVR-4306 Receiver Review

The Denon AVR-4306 receiver is highly HIGHLY recommended to anyone looking for the best performance and feature set available for a receiver under $2000. This is a true benchmark product.

Upconversion to HDMI and component video ; Scaling to 720p or 1080i from 480/576i/p sources ; Redesigned remote control with more tactile buttons ; XM radio support ; iPod and USB connectivity ; Internet radio and network support ; Excellent detail and...

No IEEE 1394/Firewire interface ; No subwoofer parametric EQ in Audyssey MultEQxt ; EL remote lacks many essential controls ; Inaccurate Audyssey equalization results

Xi 4306 MTower SP

Xi Computer has once again posted the fastest figures on the Cadalyst C2001 Benchmark in a somewhat heated competition for fastest system in this roundup, though the figures fell back very slightly for both the ViewPerf and MAX4Bench tests.

Xi Computer Corp. offers a broad range of configuration options for its systems, as evidenced by all the choices you can select from its Web site ordering system (www.xicomputer.com). Considering its speed and its reasonable price of $2,699, the Xi...

Denon AVR-4306

It's the day after a large mid-year work party and the editor's phone call shatters the delicate peace existing within my head

I realise that this review hardly mentions audio performance; that's because if I had, I would have run out of word space within which to share the unique features that make the 4306 better than any other receiver in this price bracket. The 4306 is a...
