”The performance of this Denon is a cut above the norm thanks to excellent bass integration and crisp highs. HEOS brings extra treats, too.” ’Home Cinema Choice’ – Highly Recommended.

The Denon difference – 110 years of sound perfection
As one of the world’s oldest and most respected audio brands, Denon’s heritage is second to none. Take a listen to this soundbar and you’ll hear why.

I bought a new Samsung TV which has a good sound quality but it needed a little more bass for music.

addition.

Good looking, great sound and packed with features
Great sounding bar with plenty of features, syncs with my Denon amp via the Heos app and has amazing sound quality. Not loo large so fits discretely under the TV and doesn't need a separate subwoofer, although there is the option to add a wireless one.

Great Soundbar with best features.
I purchased this a few days ago from the Hanley shop and I must say the staff were very helpful. The Denon provides a great sound and for me, ample base. It has many more features built-in than its competitors such as an additional HDMI, Ethernet as well as wireless, Spottily Connect and many others. Easy to set-up with the HEOS app. Also it comes with a 6 year warranty from Richer Sounds. All in all i'm very pleased with this purchase.

Quality equipment well priced
Steve, at the Romford store, took plenty of time to demonstrate the sound bar in their demo suite. Really impressive. Matched this with two Home 150 speakers and very pleased with the result. Usual 6 year warranty, so what's not to like!
