Denon Multichannel System RCDN10BKE2

These speakers are banging! Beautiful crisp sound. Quality built. Paired together with my new Denon Dab micro unit…..so pleased.

A wonderful sound system. Crystal clear resonating sound, treble, bass beautifully reproduced. Excellent product. I would definitely tell friends to invest in this great system.

Was looking forward to this all in one unit. Set up per the instructions... part way through it did a firmware update.. after completion, it restarted and it froze. Could not even turn the unit off with the power button. Unplugged it, restarted again, and after start up it froze on whatever selection you could get on remote before it finished powering up... after that froze again... could not get CD drawer to open or anything I tried... remote would not work either. Called Denon USA.... bottom line.. they said send it back... something very wrong. Suspect firmware update (unit was 2018) was too much.... interface was ruined... none of the controls worked. Reordered another one....suspicious of the freeze up problem. Per the instructions I linked IPhone internet access to unit.. maybe that’s the issue

This replaced a late 1970s old school receiver that was going through a newer pair of Polk speakers. We did an AirBnb which had a small form receiver which initiated my research. This Denon sits in a bookshelf and opened up some prime real estate in our living room (replacing the old receiver and a full-sized CD player). The sound quality is awesome and it can get quite loud (65 watts per side). Love the buttons that allow you to set up your favorite internet radio stations or play tunes via Bluetooth from iTunes. I now control everything through my iPod. If I want to go "old school" and play a CD you can do that. You can control your Pandora/Spotify/whatever through the HEOS app. Very happy!

The Pro: Good looking, sound really good with my classic Canton Karat 30 speaker. Firmware update automatically as soon as it connected to wifi and took about 30 minutes to completed. The Con: No CON for device or Denon but for the Amazon shipping department, they just slap a shipping label on the retail box and shipped out, an invite to the thief. Please your diligent and box in it up.
