The AVR-4310 is unquestionably a great AV receiver, tastefully designed, bursting with features and able to spin movie soundtracks into sonic gold. The brilliance of both Audyssey DSX and Pro Logic IIz takes its performance to the next plateau and musically it’s out of this world.
But the problem is there isn’t a great deal here that you won’t find on the much cheaper Onkyo TX-NR807, which is half the price and throws THX Select 2 certification into the bargain. Which you prefer depends on taste. The Denon’s sound is more finessed, with greater detail and texture, whereas its Japanese rival is pure muscle. At the end of the day it’s horses for courses, but one thing’s for sure – the AVR-4310 will make a formidable centrepiece for any home cinema system.Read full review
