Almost Perfect |
The receiver has an amazing quality sound, the only complain is that has just 2 HDMI input.
You can put a HDMI switch for less than 50$ and have it complete as another model more expensive. |

Sound Is Great...All The Newest Features...Priced Great |
|
Well, just bought this receiver last week and hooked it up a few days ago. I am running it with a pair of Definitive Tech BP7006's in front with a Def Tech 2002 center and a pair of Speakercraft AIM 8's in my ceiling for the rear channels...also using a Def Tech Supercube 2 in this system. The sound is great...clean sound and a lot of "punch" while watching movies...especially action movies. I bought this receiver based on reputation of Denon and recommendations from three different salespeople. I didn't want to spend a lot on a new receiver as I have a Harman Kardon AVR 245 that I also own from two years ago in perfect shape. I just thought with all the new technology, the Harman didn't have the latest stuff built into it. The 2809 is also a great receiver and I believe the only difference between it and the 2808 are the two additional HDMI inputs on the rear. Although the list price on the 2809 is about $1,150, it was also on sale that day for $999. However, I had a chance to buy the last 2808 in stock new in the box for $599...I don't need more than two HDMI's at this point and if I do, I can always use the HDMI additional inputs on the Sony XBR and run an optical audio input into the receiver....so for the price, the 2808 can't be beat. Although a lot of people compare Denon directly to Yamaha, I would have to say a close second for me would have been one of the newer offerings from Onkyo as they have some real nice features too. |

GREAT SOUND QUALITY |
I have owned many different midrange receiver in the past, from Sony, Marantz, Nakamichi, Pioneer to Yamaha. Until I got this Denon 2808, Marantz and Nakamichi sounds real good. But this Denon just simply surpass all of them in sound quality. Because of that, and because I have got this receiver on sale for $600, it made me in debt if I were not to write a review.
When I go out to look for a sound system component, and because it is for a sound system, sound quality is the number 1 priority for me personally to consider, all the others are an add on and nice things to have, but sound quality again is the numero uno.
If you ever had a receiver in the past, this thing has different way to setup, but not as complicated as others might think, if you are a beginnner than it will requires you a little dedication and times to brings out the best from this receiver. But, I am telling you, the dedication and times is just worthed.
I had a a complete sets of Mirage V2 speakers, 2 front floor standing speakers, center and satelites, and an S10 Mirage sub.
I actually bought a nice Yamaha receiver but the sound it produce was a little to bright for my taste and speakers, so I returned the Yamaha and exchange it with Denon 2808, got money back too (the Yamaha was more expensive equivalent to this Denon before sale price).
After the setup was complete, turn it on, run the Audessy setup, then tweak here and there using the manual setup based on the Audessy curve, adjust the bass. and ...Whallaaa....amazing sounds came pouring and filled up my entire body :)... so satisfying...!
Low bass, mid bass, mid range, tweeter, vocal, all came out in harmony, clarity and very WARM.........ahhh......
Please go get this receiver, specially when they are still on sale.
The denon 2808 definitely made my ok sound system sounded like a $25000 sound system imho :)

Versatile, Great Spec, Great Upscale Video |
I have this for several days only, but I am very satisfied with what I have experienced with this unit already. Yes, I wish there are more than two HDMI's. I can buy one with similar price range with 4 HDMI inputs, but considering the other features and audio spec, I decided to buy this when it was on sale in a national chain. All LCD has at least three HDMI input with a digital coaxial output, so some of the HDMI units can be hooked up that way in future when more electronics show up in future with this type of connection. Two HDMI is not a show stopper.
Some people complained about the complex setup. I agree that it is somewhat confusing at the beginning. However, after one reads the manual and does a few trial and errors, one will start to love the versatility and the various options afforded. For example, you can combine video from DVD and audio from another CD player. After a few hours of reading and trying each evening of three day ownership, I found ways to alleviate complaints in some reviews. For example, several complained that you cannot do your own EQ after ADUYSSEY setup. Yes, you can. You can copy ADUYSSEY flat and then adjust manually the EQ. If one digs enough, one probably found out means to do most of the stuff one wants to do.
The upscaling is great. The video quality is very good. The audio quality of course is good for being a Denon. The delivery of sound is clean, crisp and clear. It may be psychological, but it seemed that this unit delivered some subtle high frequencies that I did not notice in the past with a Sony ES type receiver.
I am very pleased to have decided on getting this unit. |

Great receiver at half price; but not at full price- Go with the AVR-2809 |
|
The receiver was received quickly and very well packed. At half price a good deal. The Denon AVR-2808CI is a powerful and well featured receiver despite having only two HDMI inputs. The set-up is a bit confusing and not well explained,but after a while and with the help of on screen tv display, a hand drawn map of connections you made you can master it. The learning remote does many of the functions that the rest of the remotes on the table do. I still need the cable remote for most of its features. I do wish that the Denon would allow the HD TV signal to pass through it without it's power being on. Sometimes you just want to watch tv with out all of the HI-FI. The Denon works great with the pair of Definitive Technology Super Tower BP-7004 speakers with individual powered sub-woofers, center and rear surrounds.It provides great sound with DVD's comparable to a theater experience.I am more of a music fan and appreciate the clean power, plenty of audio inputs. I like the programmable display for radio stations. I would say I am very happy with this purchase, I am not too sure that my neighbors would agree with me on that though. |
