Denon AVR-X2500H vs Yamaha RX-V585BL are two models manufactured in Japan, but if you compare them, you will find lots of essential differences, which can influence your choice. Even with a number of similar features, such as the same set of available audio formats, their additional features vary a lot.
After testing Yamaha RX-V585BL vs Denon AVR-X2500H, I want to mention that the buyer’s choice will not be influenced by their total output power as both devices have almost the same characteristics. However, power of their amplifier is not their main advantage, as the strongest feature of both receivers is their compatibility with all modern audio formats and 4K video, as these two technical characteristics are what a buyer should usually look at first.
Both models have the same frequency response (20 Hz - 20 kHz), which equals the commonly stated human hearing range. At the same time, the Yamaha has both 6 and 8 Ohm impedance per channel options (the Denon offers only 8 Ohm, which gives its users more freedom in terms of the receiver’s compatibility with different types of speakers). Yamaha’s team managed to deliver high-quality 4K video to users of the RX-V585BL, though its HDMI inputs do not look reliable. Denon’s team produced reliable A-B speaker switch, though the receiver’s Dual-zone capability requires some rework.
Both receivers are capable of providing HDMI pass-through up to 4K, but the Denon loses the competition to the Yamaha in terms of video conversion & scaling, as the AVR-X2500H has only HDMI to HDMI scaling versus the RX-V585BL having both HDMI to HDMI scaling and analog to HDMI conversion. However, the Denon offers twice more HDMI inputs (8 to 4) and HDMI outputs (2 to 1) than its rival.
The Denon is 3,5 pounds heavier than the Yamaha and is slightly bigger in dimensions, though this is not a critical difference. Both receivers go in black color with a fluorescent built-in display.
