Review of Denon Pre/Power Av amp?

[gregvet]

Hey What HiFi team, any chance of you reviewing the Denon AVP-A1HD and POA-A1HD (Pre and Power AV Amps) at some point? I know they are beyond mine (and most peoples!) price range, but would love to know a bit more about them and how they sounds. I can but dream then at least!

 

Everyone else, has anyone seen any reviews elsewhere of these items?

They did already in the Ultimate Guide to High End published a few months ago. They gave it 5* even at £10,000. Apparently the pre-amp costs £1200 more than the integrated, to not have any amplification built in, but they still think it sounds better than the AVC-A1HD so there you go.

I read that review in the Ultimate Guide to High End issue. However, I would think that for 10,000GBP, there would have been a lot more written about this combination, and also for the 5,000GBP Yamaha DSP-Z11 and 5,000GBP Pioneer 'Susano' SC-LX90.
