Best Surround sound amp for the money? Denon AVRS770H?

zaphodbeeb · 09-09-2025 03:04PM #1

Hi there,

Have had Yamaha amps as my last three amps, but looking for a decent Dolby Atmos capable receiver and this Denon seems to offer more for the money.

Thoughts? Also, shipping to Donegal - what's best price and is there any discount for being a VIP member?

Also open to suggestions on other amps etc…

Thanks in advance!

Hi Zaphod.

Thanks for the post.

The Denon 770 has ran out of stock at the moment.
You could check out the Denon 760 instead which is pretty much teh same unit but the 770 had done away with some legacy connections on the back of it and added an extra optical input.

The 760 is currently priced at €499 and including our VIP 6 year guarantee free of charge.

I could offer a little bit of a deal and one at €480 delivered.

Let me know your thoughts.

I've read that the 770 is indeed very similar but has a newer UI and will get firmware updates for likely much longer.

Is the 770 coming back into stock at some point? Considering whether to wait or just get the 760..

Thanks btw!

Hi Zaphodbeed.

At the moment there is no confirmed ETA for more of the 770 to arrive in with us.

I do have one last open box Denon 770 available.
It is box in its original box, with all accessories and is in perfect condition.

I could offer this one to you for at the same price as the 760 at €449 delivered.

Let me know your thoughts.

zaphodbeeb · 10-09-2025 04:08PM

Hi Kenny,

That sounds good - what does "open box" mean though - is it ex display / return or what?

Hi Zaphodbeed.

This particualr unit was returned by a customer who decied he didnt want it and returned it under our returns proceed.
It was returned back to us within 7 days of its original purhcase.

zaphodbeeb · 10-09-2025 04:34PM

Hmm,

Wondering why he didn't want it….

If I were to purchase it do I have a time period where I could return if not happy?

Richersounds.ie: Kenny · 10-09-2025 04:43PM

Hi Zaphodbeed.

Yes you have the normal 30 days returns as with a normal web purchase.
We need to know of the return within 14 days and then you have a further 14 days to return it to us.

Thanks Kenny,

Hoping to pull the trigger on this in the morning - what's best way to get in touch / is there a specific number or should I just call the store and refer to this thread?

Amp arrived yesterday, all setup - pleased with it.

One thing though - there was no manual? Is this normal now or was it just as it was open box?

Thanks for everything!

Richersounds.ie: Kenny · 18-09-2025 11:02AM

Hi Zaphodbeeb.

Exceelent that the amp has arrived.

Printed manuals aer a thing of the past unfortunately, everything is now online.

Denon doing their bit to save the rain forests.

If I can help in anyway in future please don't hesitate to drop me a post or a PM.

zaphodbeeb · 19-09-2025 11:09PM

Hi Kenny,

Thanks so much to you and the team - delighted with the amp - some upgrade from what I had :-)

I thought that might've been the case (re the manual), and found it online.

Richersounds.ie: Kenny · 21-09-2025 12:39PM

Hey Zaphodbeeb.

Happy Days that you are enjoying the new amp :)

If I can help in any way in future please don't hesitate to drop me a post.

Any idea when (of if) you will be getting the AVR-S770H back in stock?

Richersounds.ie: Kenny · 09-10-2025 01:52PM

Hi Griffinx.

No sign of any more 770 arriving unfortunately.

There is still stock of the 760, priced at €499

Could you find out about the 770 from your supplier, I would rather buy it from you guys rather than on the German internet.

Richersounds.ie: Kenny · 10-10-2025 09:14AM

Hi Griffinx.

Had a check with our supplier and its going to be December before we see any more stock of the 770 unfortunately.

WHL · 11-11-2025 03:10PM

Hi Kenny. In post#4 you mentioned that the Denon AVR S760H was €448 in September. Is it likely to drop to something similar in a Black Friday deal. I am living in Cork. Thanks

Richersounds.ie: Kenny · 11-11-2025 05:16PM

Hey WHL.

Thanks for the post.

I'm not sure if it will see a price drop to be honest.
I could squeeze one down to €475 delivered if that might be of interest?

WHL · 11-11-2025 05:40PM

Hi Kenny, Thanks for the reply. I am happy to place an order at that price. What is the best way to proceed. Thanks

Richersounds.ie: Kenny · 12-11-2025 11:26AM

Cheers for the PM WHL.

Whats the best price (€) you can do the 770 for?

Richersounds.ie: John · 13-01-2026 11:49AM

Hi Griffinx,

the Denon AVRX770 is now down to just £379 / 469€ and that is about as tight as we can go on it at the moment - we have them in stock locally ready to ship and the 469€ Euro price includes shipping and our 6 year guarantee - you can check them out here:

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-15461-denon-avrs770h-black-6yr-dolby-atmos-and-dts-x-av-receiver.aspx

Hope that is helpful but as ever keep us posted if we can assist in any way,

ATVB,
