@millercarbon summarized it succinctly …. Point, set, and match in tennis match jargon.
Everything in this hobby is built to its price point, without prejudice to AVR’s suffering material audio compromises as primarily video gear with everything complimentary being stuffed into a limited space unibox. . The mass-market AVR’s have limited power supplies as a major culprit.
The DENON AVR-X4300H is (was - now discontinued…) only an upper-mid range AVR with an RRP of $2,999. It was never designed nor built to perform at Hi-Fi strata audio performance .
I concur with all the prior posts that AVR’s comparatively suffer in audio performance. Adding an external power amp now still won’t compensate for its inherent design and build limitations.
