The Denon AVR-X3700H is arguably one of the best receivers for the money in this price range. The 105 watts per channel, combined with a low 0.08% distortion, provide more than enough power to surround an average sized room in high quality sound. The 9.2 channels provide excellent coverage for Dolby Atmos, plus the option to add two additional channels through an external stereo amplifier gives you the flexibility of even greater Dolby Atmos configurations. HDMI 2.1 covers all of the audio/video features offered by modern streaming and gaming devices. As with other Denon receivers, the build quality is arguably the gold standard in the industry. The Audyssey MultEQ XT32 calibration is one of the best audio calibration you can find on consumer receivers, and does an excellent job taming the various frequencies and acoustics in a given room, allowing for clarity at virtually any volume level. If you’re looking for a receiver around the $1,000 price range, you absolutely can not go wrong with the Denon AVR-X3500H.
