Got this receiver for $473 at Best Buy as an open box special. It kicks ass!!!
Thanks sir for this helpful review
I'm an audiophile and this Receiver didn't get a good review on another UA-cam post. but it sounds good to me. it's all about the $$$$ dollars.......... They(some) don't want you to believe that you can get Audiophile or Good quality sound with an inexpensive gear like this. My point is don't let anyone color your thoughts about a particular gear or what sounds good or not to you...... you listen and you determine. forgive my grammar.
Great input, Clyde! We love hearing what you guys have to say about our reviews and products! Thanks!
Your grammar is perfect; I wonder why non-native English speakers apologise for grammar. I live in an English-speaking country, and I can confidently say that many are not good with their grammar or spellings either. Best wishes.
I set up a new home and home theatre experience. All I can say this thing is a BEAST! Still struggling with the multi zone accessibility but this black box is jam packed with very musical features. Nice video.
Have you connect an external Power amp to this?
@@Clyde177 External power amp to what? I have the S960H connected to Main and Zone 2 via the back outputs.
Enjoyed the video. After 8-9 years of loving my Onkyo TX-NR609, it's been having HDMI & power-off issues, so looking at my options for a replacement, and Denon is certainly at the top of my list.
You really cannot go wrong with Denon or Marantz!
I know I am kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream new series online ?
0:01 Omg I thought that was my phone ringing!! But I see you're a man of culture lol
"You're pretty good..."
I have the Denon 540bt (75 x 5) .. it's a great receiver - just wished I had a little bit more gurt and volume to the sound and my Boston speakers subwoofer. Do you think this new 90 watt Denon would fit the bill for me?
Perfect timing, I just ordered this receiver 👍
That's awesome to hear! You won't be disappointed.
Hi, what set of speakers do you suggest to put on the AVR S960H, for a 4.5 x 5 meter room?
Thank you for this review. I’ve just ordered this to replace my old faithful Harmon Kardon receiver from 1987 that finally gave out.
All I need to do now is to figure out where to set it up. Main TV with blue Ray and Bose surround sound system is in larger living room.
Stereo components are housed in an adjacent room.
Question… Is there a way to sync the two rooms together and still have the option of listening separately if I want?
Yes, if you configure your primary zone for five channel instead of seven, you can use the last two channels as a Zone 2.
I'm having a issue one wifi won't connect but, that's not a big deal. But, I do have Atmos speakers front towers with 2 connections one of course regular connections and the other one is height but, avr does not have height inputs like my old Oknyo did. So where do I plug the cables to height speakers on the avr? Also it's hooked up to 10inch sub that is not powered came in with the Oknyo theater bundle it's a beast but, it's turnt half way and, I play battlefield explosions go off the either the avr or TV goes black what is that indication that never happened with my old Oknyo. I appreciate any input.
Im trying to run this receiver with 4 Klipsch RP-240d's, one Klipsch RP-640d, and one 16" SVS subwoofer. Do you believe this will push enough power to get the most out of this 5.1? OR should I go ahead and start looking into a 4-5 channel amp to run with a smaller receiver?
It will, though I would recommend stepping up to a Marantz SR5015 or SR6015, the voicing of the Marantz better balances out the treble of Klipsch products.
Ho do you play music through front USB port? Mine always says No Items To Display. Tried different USB sticks, formatted the sticks in NTFS and FAT32 and still no luck. Am I missing something or is my ISB port busted?
now 850!
I ordered mine August 2nd from Gramophone, said it was shipped for a Wednesday August 12th delivery and I never got a tracking number. Come to find out it will be another two weeks because of a back order. Needless to say I'm very disappointed
Mike, I am sorry to hear of the troubles with your order. Unfortunately some mistakes with projected availability regarding supply lines and with handling by shipping providers have become more common thanks to SARS-CoV-2. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help.
I didn't hear you mention anything about 4K upscaling.
I generally prefer to let the TV itself deal with the job of upscaling. The Denon will pass the signal just fine though.
as of 7/20/22 these are 849.00 at your websight and best buy is also 849.00 dollars must have went up in price
Yeah, inflation/supply chain has been a real bear.
Would this be a good add on to a Samsung qn90A in 85 inches
It will work well with the TV, but it also depends also on what speakers you want to use.
Can you run an separate amp to it..
No, you need to go up to at least the X3700H to get pre outs to use a separate amp with.
@@GramophoneMD why would you need a separate amp though doesn't this support the 125 watts at 6 ohms per channel for 7 channels?
New subscriber. What's a good powerful reciever to buy. Just getting into surround sound coming from a logitech z906. Ordered definitive technology 6D surround package. Just need a good powerful reciever. Mainly for xbox series x.
What's your price range?
@@GramophoneMD up to 750.00
@@skeletorfive5585 Probably this model right here or if you could stretch to around $1,000 the Marantz SR5015 is a winner. Generally speaking when I think of a “powerful receiver” however, we are talking about a flagship grade product which is around $3,000. That being said your Def Techs are not difficult to drive so my above recommendations should do you well. I once had the previous model Dec Techs that you have being driven by a Marantz NR series slimline receiver and that served me well too.
@@GramophoneMD thanks
@@skeletorfive5585 My pleasure!
I want to see the OSD/User Interface.
It is the same OSD they've had for a couple years now.
How to bridge this to and power amp or use this as a pre-amp....... thanks.
Connect the preouts to a seperate power amp, I don't really recommend bi-amping with this model.
@@GramophoneMD Why wouldn't you want to connect an external power amp? I need the connections this AVR provides, but I also need more power for my speakers than this provides.
@@andrewanderson3746 I have two mono blocks amp rated at575w
@@GramophoneMD The only preouts I see is for the subwoofer
.
Can I connect my windows 10 PC to this by connecting via HDMI?
Yes
@@GramophoneMD cool Thanks. I just bought this receiver to go with my new 7.1 projector system. Can't wait to set it up
I wish it had more than just 1 HDMI 2.1 input
Hmm bought the s950h couple of months ago maybe could have waited but mine has more power per channel what is up with that
It's the same power. You may be thinking of the single channel maximum dynamic power rating which is an extremely niche circumstance. That's not the number you want to use when shopping for receivers as it really is not realistic. 90 watts with two channels driven is the best case scenario for the S9xx series receivers.
companies like to use bs ratings....like with my S750h (165W per channel 6 ohms, 1 kHz, THD 10%, 1ch driven) blah blah blah... no one is using their system that way with only one speaker.
I am using 8ohlm speakers which drops the power rating to a truer 75 W a channel
@@scotm3599 got to love marketing departments... 🤨
How did it go from 650 to 850??
Inflation and supply chain cost increases are a bear... 😑
the hdmi 2.1 ports are defective...firmware will not fix it
I have been following this closely and apparently its just been tested ok (a few days ago), this is why I'm checking out this video.
Do you have this model and if so any problems with it yet?
Thanks
@@lucbeauvais1847 i do not have it.....but i have watched several video stating that the 2.1 ports are not working with next gen consoles
I've been following this too. It's messy. I've heard multiples accounts of it working for some and not for others. We haven't really heard anything from the manufacturer about it as well. For now I recommend running console or PC audio through eARC.
@@GramophoneMD And now it is fixed per Denon !
They are sending out units if you sign up with an attachment free
@@robthegreatt1 can confirm!
When is the receiver expected to be available for purchase?
They will be available in about 2 weeks so make sure to preorder yours now at SKY by Gramophone to ensure you get one! skybygramophone.com/products/denon-avrs960h-receiver?_pos=1&_sid=d7d558504&_ss=r
I doubt those HDMI 2.1 ports are full bandwidth buddy. You might want to check on that so you're not giving out false info. Great video though.
You're correct that they aren't "full bandwidth". They are 40 Gbps instead of "full" 48 Gbps. The only instance you would need a full 48 Gbps is for uncompressed 12-bit color on 8k at 60 Hz and 4k at 120 Hz while running all the HDMI 2.1 specific features like VRR, Dolby True HD Atmos (the real Atmos as it is uncompressed), auto low latency mode, eARC, etc... No TV that currently exists provides a true 12-bit panel. Some may accept a 12-bit signal but that means nothing as the panel will not be able to display that extended color detail. Even the most expensive and performant TVs made today like OLED or Sony Master Series 8K for example are all 10-bit. 40 Gbps is sufficient for a full uncompressed 10-bit signal and with all of those extras, too. 48 Gbps will not be a practical concern for still many years. TV tech is just not there yet.
What speakers would you pair with this?
