It produces an excellent ebbing and flowing hum behind the chaos and confusion when the alien craft picks up Roy Neary’s truck and gives it a good shake. Switching to Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, we hear this Denon’s brilliance with scale as the UFOs come joyriding through the quiet Indiana countryside. For some people and certain content, the trade-off could be worthwhile, although our preference is to stick with the less processed 'Direct' mode. While it certainly lifts the lid a little, you do lose some of that insight and excitement in return. Virtualised height effects are available through Dolby’s processing technology for that added dimension. It passes the laser blasts from speaker to speaker in a wonderfully coherent manner and, no matter the scene, creates a genuine sense of place. No matter how hectic the action becomes, this Denon never misses a beat.
The two subwoofers in our 7.2 set-up growl with control whenever called upon, never once detracting from the crystal clarity of the music in the soundtrack, the voices or surround effects. It has even greater authority than last year’s model and it never strains to exert it. It’s bigger, better and more cultured than that. The AVR-X2700H doesn’t try too hard to impress, as a nervously underpowered budget amp might, with huge blasts from the front pair or the subwoofer during the space dogfight in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2. If we had to use one word to describe the sound of this receiver, it would be ‘confident’. You can also switch between two sets of Audyssey measurements if you can’t quite make up your mind. Nonetheless, the MultEQ XT measurements need only a few small tweaks to the levels before we’re happy with the set-up. SoundĪs the baby of the 2020 Denon X-Series, the AVR-X2700H has a slightly lighter version of the Audyssey speaker calibration technology than its bigger brothers.

The Bluetooth offering has also been revamped this year such that AVR-X2700H can direct audio to a set of wireless headphones at the same time as your speakers – handy for any hearing-impaired family member or if you want to nip out for a cup of tea without missing a moment. One nice new addition on this front is that all of Denon’s 2020 X-Series AVRs are now ‘Roon Tested’ devices, meaning that you can have Roon music playback through your speaker package as well. Voice control through Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri-enabled devices remains, as well as all the wireless standards for music found in the previous model, including AirPlay 2, HEOS, Spotify and Tidal. Those looking to decode IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D soundtracks will need to make the step up to the Denon AVR-X3700H or beyond. The AVR-X2700H isn’t quite as flush for 3D audio formats as the upper-end models, but the big hitters of Dolby Atmos, Atmos Height Virtualization, DTS:X and DTS Virtual:X are all present and correct. Sound formats Dolby Atmos, Atmos Height Virtualization, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:XĬonnectivity AirPlay 2, HEOS, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Bluetooth, Roon Tested HDR formats HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, Dolby, Dynamic HDR Voice assistants Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri Hi-res formats 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz passthrough
