We are glad to share the very first and fantastic print review of the Denon AVC-X8500H in Germany. The exclusive article in the new issue of Audiovision comprises a striking cover insert, a dedicated editorial and a 6-page feature. The home cinema flagship amplifier meets or even exceeds all of the high expectations - even with Auro-3D being available later this year - and is awarded "Highlight", "Innovation" and "Referenz" (Reference) with a record breaking evaluation of 97/100 points!  

"This flagship is brimful with everything that is currently possible in the home cinema segment."

"The controls of the AVC-X8500H work excellently due to its menus which are all set up in a logical way and can be read very easily."

"On the acoustic level the Denon unfolds a high addiction potential [...] with a fabulous spaciousness. [...] Playing stereo music is great fun as well."

"With the AVC-X8500H Denon significantly raises the bar for home cinema 'bolides' and achieves a sensational result of 97 points. More is hardly possible, 13 amps and the 13.2 processing build a class on their own at present."
