Denon PMA600NE HiFi Amplifier, Power Amplifier with Bluetooth - Silver

Great amp for the price, gives lovely sound quality and not a bad price. Easy to set up and connect via bluetooth

I am a man of simple tastes. I don't want huge complexity in my sound system, but I do want decent quality sound. As you can see, it's a pretty minimal setup. There's a Rega P1 turntable, an Xbox One used mainly for streaming, and one of these lovely Denon P600s to do the legwork. That's all connected to a pair of Mission bookcase speakers. The sound is the best you're going to get for this money, and certainly better than any combination I've tried before, including some more expensive. I also connect PCs and a phone through Bluetooth for music and that's just as good. I note some people had issues with it, but I never have. In fact I bought this because the Bluetooth receiver in my old Denon DAB head unit packed up, and I've never looked back. The setup is simple and self-explanatory. The turntable can go direct into the unit and it's pretty good, but I boost it with a little generic pre-amp just to give a bit more kick. The digital audio from the Xbox for streaming and occasional gaming is equally excellent. Bass when needed but the dialogue is clear as a bell, something I've not found to be true of all systems designed for music. My only issue is with the remote control which is designed to be used in conjunction with a Denon CD player. I don't have or want a CD player, it's redundant technology now, so the remote has six buttons that I use and 36 that I never touch. Not the worst problem in the world. There are actually six other buttons I never use, but that's because I have so few inputs.

I was researching looking to buy a new amp and Cd player and kept reading positive reviews from both customers and articles from what hi-fi and other articles on YouTube in regards to the Denon PMA600NE and the Denon DCD-600NE they all spoke of the quality build, the richness of the sound if paired with the correct speakers, the Bluetooth connectivity, being able to switch between analogue and direct sound. I am really impressed with my purchase, I have paired them with Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers and the sound quality is phenomenal the bass tones are rich, has depth, on the warmer side but definitive, and the balance with the mid range and highs is spot on, not bright just well balanced. I have played vinyl, cd's and mp3 and flac from my phone's music player all good sounds. The amp is well suited to my needs.

Bought this to replace an ancient Kenwood Amp. Connected to a pair of Bose Cube speakers and Sub-woofer. I am no audiophile but the sound output and power is excellent from phono and Bluetooth connection to phone. The main revelation was that you can connect via Bluetooth to our Sky Glass TV and in the TV settings have the sound both from the TV soundbar and through the Amp to external speakers. This adds massive depth and quality to the sound from the TV - which wasn’t bad to start with. Overall great sound quality, whatever the input. Really easy to set up and connect via Bluetooth. Would recommend.

Very pleased with overall quality and the sound through my existing Mission LX 6 Mk 2 speakers.

Good value…Brilliant amplifier ,the Bluetooth set up not a problem ,I have the music streaming from my iMac .i bought Denon ceol speakers also to go with it as I don’t want too intrusive speakers in my living room, they are very good also and the base is great ..but the low mids could be better ,a sub woofer is recommended but I can live without it for this …heart upon my sleeve from Avicci is brilliant on this system ,I am so happy with this Denon amp ,I haven’t tried my turntable yet …I will let you know how it goes …definitely recommend .update…turntable works well ,I have it connected to amp via cd inputs because phono has a hum ,may need to be grounded via wire connection..but working fine atm .

I have had the Denon for a bit over 2 and a half months now, plenty of time to get some good listening in. The PMA-600 is definitely not a bad amplifier for the money at all, and you could do much, much worse. Admittedly I only use the digital inputs and the 'Source Direct' options because my library is purely digital and I have a lot of lossless files (FLAC, ALAC, and a few dozen or so in WAV format). I have been quite pleased with how it drives my little Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 monitors when either listening quietly or when I have cranked the volume a little bit from time to time. The Bass, Trebble and Balance controls are only accessible on the amplifier itself however, and for most this could be an issue (unlike myself, as I like my music 'unadulterated' so to speak) this is mirrored on the remote by the lack of these controls (I only use the remote to turn the unit on/standby, select a source and raise/lower the volume anyway). The audio through the speakers can sometimes sound a little soft when playing more detailed music (never 'muddy' though) but, in my opinion, that's better for listening for extended periods, rather than making music sound overly harsh/detailed 'raking' at your poor eardrums. Headphone output seems more than adequate to drive my Sennheiser HD 660s' and the audio seems to retain its original detail (although this could be the headphones themselves). Now, I know there are better, more equipped and MUCH more expensive amps on the market, but for what I paid for this amplifier, I must say that I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Crisp clear sound, got this hooked up to my 1210's through a trusty Gemini mixer and Sony speakers,instructions really easy to follow, well worth the money
