What customers say about "Key Specs"
Denon AVR-S730H 7.2 Channel AV Receiver with Built-in HEOS wireless technology
  • At full blast, I was thoroughly convinced that I was inside a theatre. I could only imagine the effect with 7.2 channel. Definitely worth the investment.
  • The Denon 1155w is a strong 7.2 channel receiver for our family.
  • ARC channel works flawlessly and the sound quality at this price point is nothing less than stunning.
  • Volume levels seem to be extremely low when using HDMI inputs considering it's supposed to be 165 watts per channel.
  • This is rated for 165 vs 140 watts per channel, but it didn't sound like nearly the power, even driving Klipsch speakers.

  • Adequate watts per channel. Nice sleek design.
  • Plenty of power sent through 7 channels with 2 sub outputs. The receiver is very customizable and easy to use.
