Denon AVR-1911 Pro Reviews

And yet the AVR-1911 can’t achieve the full five stars, which can mean only one thing: the competition is fiercer than ever.

The Denon AVR-1911 costs more than competitors and has fewer features, but its outstanding sound quality bests competing 7.1-channel AV receivers.

Denon upholds its enviable reputation with yet another admirable AV receiver. The AVR-1911 packs plenty of power, serves up a modest array of features like 3D compatibility and is generally easy to use, but the real reason to give it a whirl is its stupendous sound quality, the sort you’d expect from a more expensive amp. However, for all its brilliance it doesn’t quite do enough to dethrone the Onkyo TX-SR608, and we’ll tell you why – not only is Onkyo’s receiver cheaper, but it also offers more features, more connections (including 6 HDMI inputs), a higher power rating, THX Select2 Plus certification, a superior remote, a prettier onscreen interface and a similar level of sound quality. But if for some reason you still end up taking the Denon home then you’ll still have bagged yourself a very impressive AV receiver.
