The funny thing is if you wanted all that without the amplifiers it would cost you more. You know a Pre Pro. Denon doesn't make one. It has been years that Denon made one. It was a pro model, and before that a pretty high end pricey one. Now it is all receivers. I am hoping Marantz and Denon can have reliable HDMI boards. I am still not sold on the 8K pass through boards, especially when you consider the money.  the core thing I look at are the essentials and I think at least Denon and if not Marantz too forgot how to give us a great linear power supply. Inside of my Denon AVR-4802. No HDMI, no Atmos, no Alexa and no 16 channels, but it honestly does its 125 watts per channel into 8 ohms at .05 THD and that is full bandpass of course. THX Ultra 2 certified as well. If they made a Pre Pro with the same commitment as the 4802, I would be all over it and run separate amplifiers. I do that partially on the 4802. What do I need 16 channels for? If I have to ask, I don't need it. Your mileage may vary. |

New Denon is $8700 CAD plus I would have to pay 13% in tax bahahaha, who are they making these things for, that's almost $10,000 which is nothing I could afford and nobody I know would spend $10,000 on a Denon receiver haha wow

IMO times are tougher than they have ever been especially for the average blue collar person, the prices on this stuff is outlandish especially for mediocre sounding gear like Denon and Marantz, the last Marantz processor I owned sounded nowhere near as good as my then owned Sherbourn PT-7020C4 which I found hilarious, I would never pay the kind of money they ask for these pieces, sure I don't have 16 channels but who in a normal theater room even needs that many. The way things are going a 2 channel setup looks better by the day.

I guess not haha, but everything I see coming out is way above my pay grade these days and I have a decent paying job yet still can't afford to keep up with the latest HT sound setup |

Chad Inflation has that nice effect of raising the value of my spare pt7030 when you look at the price of these new separates and Denon . Down under the Marantz prices better be low as a Storm audio core pre pro is 18k and who needs 3 hdmi outs when 2 is enough ? not to mention any vintage analog video inputs they still havent ditched  The core has an optional add on package you can ignore . btw; a trinnov 16ch is 23k  dont need its upgraded 20ch discrete sp dif interface |

There are more people making good money so the market will shift to that group. Nothing new though. Time to adjust priorities I guess |

Ridiculous times call for ridiculous prices.
Me? 16 channels is NOT enough.
I'm waiting for 32 channels of 200 watts each with a receiver needing 440 volts and 20 or 30 amps.....the same plug you'd use to charge your EV.....
A GOOD Stereo which you can get for a fraction the 10k for JUST the Denon receiver is looking better and better. But no 'bragging rights'......

Really......REALLY difficult to have Too Much Power........
And in winter? You save a BUNDLE on Home Heating......
My house has 'only' a 100amp service. I'd need another like it for JUST the
stereo / theater room......As a bare minimum...

Released in December for India and Asia, maybe these dealers simply received China factory betas. No official packaging or manuals revealed, no specs or full details either. Today was supposed to be the official reveal, but nothing is available other than a blank landing page on their website at time of posting.
