Denon AVC X8500h (4K) AV Receiver Up for sale my Denon AVC x8500h 13 Channel AVR. Its 4k Model. $1300 is to upgrade the 8k board from Denon. It's in new condition with all the accessories and the original box. I used this in my main Theatre room running 13 Channels. I recently went separates so this one moved to my living area where I have only 3 Channel and it's too much for 3 channels hence thinking of selling. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, Cash on Pickup Region/State: (ACT) Australian Capital Territory/Australia By ShopBox 0 Comments AUD $3,200 Date: August 20, 20241 yr
A fair asking price for a rare flagship AVR in like-new shape, not a bargain. At A$3,200, it sits just above the A$3,185 median and comfortably inside the A$2,264–A$4,012 used-market band, so it’s priced in line with recent comparables rather than aggressively.
What makes it appealing is the step-up performance: this is one of Denon’s most capable all-in-one home-theatre receivers, built for serious multichannel systems and still well regarded for power, flexibility, and room-correction support. In like_new condition, the upside is reduced wear and a cleaner ownership story, which matters on a heavy flagship unit. If it’s complete with the original remote, calibration mic, and packaging, it becomes an easy shortlist item for buyers who want top-tier AVR capability without chasing a discounted but tired example.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
