    - How long have you been using it?

    Since August 2007

    I bought it secondhand (I'm a student)

    Launched in 1999 but the previous owner was an amp freak so it was in perfect condition (just serviced)

    - Which feature do you like the most / the least?

    Pros: 5 x 70 watts

    Low distortion level

    Sleek design (mine is silver and gold)

    Precise highs and lows (but it also depends on the speakers)

    Sturdy

    Many inputs

    Cons: gets really hot

    Horrible remote control

    Nothing important ^^

    - Did you try any other models before buying it?

    No. It was my first…

    - Did you try any other models before buying it?

    No. It was my first amp in this category and I didn't want to buy a Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, etc.

    - How would you rate its value for money?

    Good since I bought it secondhand

    Considering that the device was in perfect condition at a very low price, the value for money is unbeatable

    - Based on your experience, would you buy this product again?

    I'm very happy considering it was my first amp

    I think I will stay faithful to Denon. I might buy a high-end product but I'm not sure because this one is already amazing

    It might lack a bit of lows but I connected it to my PC so I can use lots of filters and EQs to correct the sound until I buy a subwoofer...

    The amp is dolby digital compatible if you have the adequate devices...

    It provides ambient presets but I recommend you to avoid them if you're a purist...

    You can input the size of your speakers (large/small) and their distance to the listener so that the amp manages reflections to simulate a large room when it's used in a small environment...

    You also have the possibility to adjust the individual volume of each loudspeaker (from +12 to -12), which is convenient to get a consistent sound in a non-rectangular room...

    The amp also provides RDS and low/high controls...
