Score: 81/100Rankings
The Integra DRX-3.3 is a 9-channel network receiver providing 90 W per channel, 8K HDR video and multi-zone audio. Its lack of eARC and sizable footprint may be drawbacks for some installations. It targets enthusiasts who need high power and extensive connectivity in medium-size rooms.
The Denon AVR-X1700H is a 7.2-channel receiver delivering 80 W per channel, HDMI 2.1 8K/60 Hz and 4K/120 Hz support, Audyssey calibration and HEOS streaming. It lacks a full-featured USB port and may be under-powered for large spaces. Ideal for gamers and home-theater enthusiasts who value advanced video and streaming features.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers praise the DRX-3.3 for its beefier 90 W per channel high-current amp, flexible multi-zone capabilities, and robust video handling, positioning it as a strong value for a 9-channel home theater without external amps. However, they note its power headroom falls short of the DRX-4.3 and that the base model omits dedicated DACs for additional zones, which may require a step-up version for full digital zone support.
The product summary does not include a separate consumer sentiment section, so this field is set to null.
Professional reviewers describe the AVR-X1700H as an entry-level powerhouse that delivers room-filling 80 W/8 Ω sound and robust 8K video support. They commend its comprehensive HDMI 2.1 gaming features (VRR, ALLM, QFT) and the effective Audyssey MultEQ XT calibration that creates immersive Atmos without height speakers, while noting the power is best suited for modest-sized rooms and the USB functionality is limited.
Everyday users praise the receiver's easy setup, clear 8K video pass-through, and immersive Atmos/DTS:X virtualization, especially appreciating HEOS multi-room streaming and the built-in phono input. Recurring complaints focus on insufficient power for larger spaces, occasional HDMI handshake glitches with 8K sources, and the limited USB port functionality.
