Denon PMA600NE HiFi Amplifier, Power Amplifier with Bluetooth - Black | Phono Equalizer, 1x Coaxial & 2x Optical Inputs, Subwoofer Output, Analog Mode, Music Streaming

Bought this to replace an ancient Kenwood Amp. Connected to a pair of Bose Cube speakers and Sub-woofer. I am no audiophile but the sound output and power is excellent from phono and Bluetooth connection to phone. The main revelation was that you can connect via Bluetooth to our Sky Glass TV and in the TV settings have the sound both from the TV soundbar and through the Amp to external speakers. This adds massive depth and quality to the sound from the TV - which wasn’t bad to start with. Overall great sound quality, whatever the input. Really easy to set up and connect via Bluetooth. Would recommend.

This Denon amplifier is pretty good for the money; rated at 45w per channel at 8ohms and 70w per channel for 4ohms it is very unusual to get a four ohms rated integrated amp at this price, it has a phono moving magnet input, preamplifier outputs, sub-woofer output, three RCA lines level input, tape loop, a DAC with one coaxial input and two optical inputs, bass and treble controls, Bluetooth and a 6.3mm headphone jack that sounds fantastic. This Denon feels solid and is cool looking; I connected it to my vintage speakers, Pioneer 3 way CS5070 and I played Fly me to the moon by Diana Krall at a low volume and the sound was warm, smooth and relaxing, then I pumped up the volume halfway, and the sound became holographic, coherent and huge. For a change of pace, I played a few of my favorites songs from Dire Straits, Money for Nothing, Calling Elvis and Sultans of Swings once again when I open the taps I got a sound that was fully communicating and full of energy. The best thing is that I only paid £378 here at Amazon. It is nice to have an amplifier with these great features that sounds smooth and relaxing at low volumes, and when you crank it up, it gives you a live stage performance.

Great amp for the price, gives lovely sound quality and not a bad price. Easy to set up and connect via bluetooth

I have had the Denon for a bit over 2 and a half months now, plenty of time to get some good listening in. The PMA-600 is definitely not a bad amplifier for the money at all, and you could do much, much worse. Admittedly I only use the digital inputs and the 'Source Direct' options because my library is purely digital and I have a lot of lossless files (FLAC, ALAC, and a few dozen or so in WAV format). I have been quite pleased with how it drives my little Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 monitors when either listening quietly or when I have cranked the volume a little bit from time to time. The Bass, Trebble and Balance controls are only accessible on the amplifier itself however, and for most this could be an issue (unlike myself, as I like my music 'unadulterated' so to speak) this is mirrored on the remote by the lack of these controls (I only use the remote to turn the unit on/standby, select a source and raise/lower the volume anyway). The audio through the speakers can sometimes sound a little soft when playing more detailed music (never 'muddy' though) but, in my opinion, that's better for listening for extended periods, rather than making music sound overly harsh/detailed 'raking' at your poor eardrums. Headphone output seems more than adequate to drive my Sennheiser HD 660s' and the audio seems to retain its original detail (although this could be the headphones themselves). Now, I know there are better, more equipped and MUCH more expensive amps on the market, but for what I paid for this amplifier, I must say that I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Bang for buck here! Well worth its price at 369 (discount from 429). Good set of included features, however the main point here is the 'grunt' available that sustains very good tonal performance with no audible distortion as you drive your speakers. I used Mission 778s, Lx5's, Lx2's and some older Kef and Mission 700 (circa late 1970 !) speakers. Had no issues driving them all. Some will ask about bluetooth, well I had no issues, connected fine, but in normal use I don't use bt (is second system for family). Do check it out if in the market at this price point.

Good quality, stylish and reliable. This amplifier looks good but performs brilliantly, I have other Denon stereo kit and none of it dissapoints, clear dials and easy to adjust, for the money I have not come across anything to beat Denon equipment

This one is better

I am a man of simple tastes. I don't want huge complexity in my sound system, but I do want decent quality sound. As you can see, it's a pretty minimal setup. There's a Rega P1 turntable, an Xbox One used mainly for streaming, and one of these lovely Denon P600s to do the legwork. That's all connected to a pair of Mission bookcase speakers. The sound is the best you're going to get for this money, and certainly better than any combination I've tried before, including some more expensive. I also connect PCs and a phone through Bluetooth for music and that's just as good. I note some people had issues with it, but I never have. In fact I bought this because the Bluetooth receiver in my old Denon DAB head unit packed up, and I've never looked back. The setup is simple and self-explanatory. The turntable can go direct into the unit and it's pretty good, but I boost it with a little generic pre-amp just to give a bit more kick. The digital audio from the Xbox for streaming and occasional gaming is equally excellent. Bass when needed but the dialogue is clear as a bell, something I've not found to be true of all systems designed for music. My only issue is with the remote control which is designed to be used in conjunction with a Denon CD player. I don't have or want a CD player, it's redundant technology now, so the remote has six buttons that I use and 36 that I never touch. Not the worst problem in the world. There are actually six other buttons I never use, but that's because I have so few inputs.
