Denon PMA-710AE

Why are there so few comments on this amp ? In Holland Denon is a very popular brand but I never heard a Denon amp.

Hi cyper

I've not heard the amp. Please have a listen to the amp and see if it is to your liking.

All the best

Hi Cypher,

I just heard the Denon PMA-710AE with a range of floor standers (Monitor Audio BX5, Polk Audio RTiA7, Energy CF-70, Focal Chorus 716 V, AAD Vi-630, Tannoy Revolution and Quad 23L Classic). The other amps I tried alongside were the award winning Marantz PM6004, Marantz PM7004 and an Arcam 70A (that was on clearance sale).

To my ears, (but for the Marantz PM7004, which is in a different class, and beyond my budget) the Denon sounded really sweet and musical, and something that I can listen to for hours without feeling fatigued. I liked it better than the Marantz PM6004, which I found to be a little on the brighter side.

I was looking for an integrated amp for listening to music (rock, blues, jazz) and am thinking of pairing the Denon 710AE with the Energy CF-70 (..will cost about US$ 1800, here in India). I have to listen to this setup just once more and then take the plunge

Thanks for the answer. It's still strange to see that rotel, marantz, nad and cambridge audio are talked about all the time and a brand like Denon isn't very popular.

I'm glad you liked the PMA-710. I still haven't heard it myself but I heard the PM6004 recently and I still think my Nad C326 is a lot better.

It is because, Marantz and Denon are together and while the Marantz is regarded as the Hi-Fi brand of them two, the Denon is the AV-one....so if you go to the AV or Home Cinema forum you`ll find Denon much more often mentioned there...
