Just makes beautiful music.This is a very nice and powerful AMP.

no digital inputs,But has direct input to bypass the gain control.

This is about the POA 2400A.As this is my first power amp I spent 3 months looking for the right amp for the right price.I am grateful to the person who sold me this amplifier.Not knowing what to expect from a "good" amp,I can only compare it to my denon 1801 reciever and other Amps I have heard.All I can say is"oh my God".The detail,midrange and soundstage are incredible.I have it hooked up to B&W 602.5's and am using my 1801 as a preamp.I'm no expert but I know what I like.And me Likie this denon.Using an anolog power meter I have not pressed past 60 watt rms.at this level my room shook with no hint of distortion.The 602.5'a are rated 120 watts and I didn't want to press my luck,But I couldn't believe what I was hearing.Solid clean midrange and every tink and tunk of the music I threw at it.Its no wonder Denon quit making this amp.It showed up every other amp denon made.At 60 watts the amp runs cool.If your lucky enough to find a clean 2400A buy it.I can find no flaws in it's performance and look foward to exploring it's upper limits.

Detailed,tight,wide soundstage.

nope

This amp has really opened up my b&w 604 s3's. I don't have a whole lot to compare it to except some Parasound and Nad products as far as amplifiers go. So powerful and clean at low and high volumes with strong midrange. Bass is plenty and tight and highs are crystal clear. This is the best 275 I have ever spent. Went from Denon AVR2800 and bought this amp just to run my mains. The difference was not even in the same league. When I hooked up the amp to my 2800 I was kind of dissapointed because as I found out the 2800 pretty much sucks as a pre amp. When I hooked my cd player up direct I heard what this bad boy was capable of. I have to switch my outputs from the cd player to the 2800 to watch a surround sound movie and turn the bass way up cause my 2800 seems to suck a lot of the bass away. It sounds so good I feel this is a small price to pay until I can afford more amps and a good preamp. If you can get a good deal on ebay buy it. I picked it up in the first hour it was up with buy it now feature.

Smooth Highs, great vocals. Effortless power for hard to drive speakers

Ugly red bar. Kinda gaudy, making it look cheap. Binding posts suck! plastic buttons.

An absolutely fantastic sound amp thats sounds MUCH more expensive then even its retail price would suggest.

Tight and quiet.

Stage could be better. It''s a shame they stopped making it.

My amp is actually a POA-2400A and not a POA-2400. I don''t know if it''s the same amp you all speak of, but I bet it''s darned close. I put this thing up against the following: Adcom (~$850): The Adcom had a good grunt, but wasn''t nearly as tight and was MUCH more harsh. Adcom should be embarrassed. Rotel (~$700): The Rotel had slightly sweeter stage. The Denon was tighter, cleaner, and more powerful. The Rotel did a great job on female vocals, but had a nonexistant low-end. B&K (~$800): The B&K was a piece of junk. Don''t even get me started about my issues with that pathetic attempt at building an amp. It had so many annoyances that I couldn''t perform a real sound quality test. Parasound ($800): Nice amp! Smoother than the Denon and a stage almost as good as the Rotel. The Denon beat it in accuracy and tightness. Also, the Parasound had grunt, but didn''t control it as well. With my speakers (B&W P6''s), the Denon is better. With tighter (Canton) speakers, the Parasound might be a good choice. PSE (Professional Sound Engineering, $1100): The Denon had more raw power and may have been tighter. I wish I''d spent the extra $600 for the PSE. Sorry, Denon lost to this one. The PSE is sweet! Accurate, with an incredible stage. ~$1000 vocals never sounded so good! Denon is still a winner for it''s price range. Denon P2800 (~$800): Not a bad amp. Apparently an attempt to replace the POA 2400A. The 2800 didn''t quite cut it. The 2400A is quieter and tighter. I''m guessing that a variable Class-A just became to expensive to manufacture. Too bad.

Built like a tank, sounds wonderful!

Would like a 12v trigger.

I just purchased my third 2400. What a fine piece of equipment! Plenty of gut wrenching power, yet silky soft.
You can't get a better used amp for the money.

Does anyone have a copy of the user manual?

This unit works great even in surround-system.

This unit works great, this unit is a high end DENON Power Amp Model # POA-2400. Handles 4 speakers A & B. Has to work with Pre Amp. Great addition to your system. This is a unit for people who like serious sound.

Unlimited power, smooth sound, well built

Not a Spectral amp, but cheaper by $5000

Recently purchased one of these to drive the VERY power hungry Apogee stages. After fixing a faulty channel, the amp has worked flawlessly and provides so much effortless power it is hard to imagine. Transients and detail are off the charts and bass authority is great. Also a very quiet amp, no audible noise at any output level. I won't upgrade from this amp til I can afford to move into the Spectral/Pass Labs level market because I've listened to quite a few amps at 2 and 3 times the cost - Sony/NADS/ADS/Rotel/Marantz/ - that have less power and still don't sound as smooth as this amp. Basically, for less than 2000 if you need lots of power I don't see how you can do better(if you don't need lots of power there are lot more choices).

I used this amplifier with a Denon AVR 2800 preamp.
It sounds extremely fine, and I think it is one of the best power amplifier Denon has never built.
Very good indeed

Incredible detail

Not made anymore

I have had this wonderful amp side by side with my Adcom and B&K, but this is the show stopper! It is amazing that this good a Class A amp is out there, yet nobody seems to know about them. At only $485 it was a steal! I've yet to hear anything under $1000 that has as much sweet and silky detail as this amp.

the 2400 was and still probably is one of denons best amps in the 200 watt class i own one my self and though it runs hot i couldnt ask for a better piece for the money,of coarse it is not made any more but if you can find one buy it,it uses class-a circutry which is hard to find for that price over all performance is outstanding denon should look back to this product for future equiptment.
