Features

Advanced High Current (AHC) Single-Push-Pull Circuit: Engineered with Denon amplifier technology, the PMA-600NE delivers 45 Watts of power-per-channel (8ohm, 20-20kHz, THD 0.07%). The PMA-600NE incorporates AHC (Advanced High Current) transistors with 2 to 3x the electrical current supply capacity of conventional audio power transistors. The acclaimed Denon AHC single-push-pull circuit allows for the discrete amplifier in the PMA-600NE to produce powerful sound with musical fidelity. This integrated amplifier offers compatibility with a wide range of speaker types and impedances (4 to 16-ohm) for operational stability.

Vibration-Resistant Design: The PMA-600NE's vibration-resistant design with Direct Mechanical Ground Construction reduces the adverse audio effects of heavy components within amplifiers so sound quality meets Denon standards. The power transformer, which is the largest vibration source among amplifier components, is outfitted with a thick steel plate to the mount, suppressing vibration created by the transformer as well as external vibration toward the transformer. By directly supporting the transformer with a steel plate, the vibration surrounding the chassis is reduced resulting in pristine sound.

Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC): The Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) chassis developed by Denon is used in the audio circuit to ensure that delicate musical signals are faithfully amplified and transmitted to the speakers. This design technology makes sure you can listen with exemplary quality, every time.

Main Transformer with Individual Wiring: To eliminate interference and maintain exceptional sound quality, the main power transformer of the PMA-600NE has separate coiled wires for the audio and control circuits. An integrated micro-processor features Stop Mode for even greater sound quality while you listen.

Micro-Processor Stop Mode: The micro-processor of the PMA-600NE features a Stop Mode that automatically ceases all operations of the micro-processor when it's not needed for playback. By stopping the oscillation of the micro-processor clock during these listening moments, the audio signal is protected from external noise and enhances sound quality.

24-Bit/192kHz DAC: The Denon PMA-600NE utilizes a 24-bit/192kHz DAC for high-resolution audio playback; supporting 16- or 24-bit Linear PCM with a sampling frequency of 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192 kHz.

Analog & Source Direct Modes: Analog Mode allows the PMA-600NE to operate as a purely analog amp, disabling digital inputs as well as Bluetooth while you listen to an analog source. Turn on Analog Mode to close power to the dedicated digital power source and stop operation of the digital input and Bluetooth circuity, avoiding any high frequency influence on the analog section of the PMA-600NE. Enjoy your favorite analog sources with uninhibited clarity and detailed reproduction. When Source Direct is activated, you can listen to either analog or digital audio signals with higher sound quality. Source Direct mode the bypasses the integrated amp's tone adjustment circuitry (Bass/Treble/Balance), resulting in playback of higher sound quality for analog and digital audio sources.

Built-in Bluetooth: The Denon PMA-600NE features built-in Bluetooth (version 4.2) with a 98.4' wireless range for music streaming (A2DP 1.2) and control (AVRCP 1.6). You'll be able to wirelessly connect to smartphones (including iPhone & Android), tablets (including iPad & Android), laptops (including Microsoft Surface & Macbook), computers (including Windows PC & Mac), and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Up to eight Bluetooth devices can be remembered by the PMA-600NE, so family members as well as friends can enjoy their favorite tracks (only one device can be used at a time).

  • Wireless Music Streaming: You'll be able to wirelessly stream stored music and music apps from your Bluetooth-enabled source device to the Denon receiver. In addition to support for the standard SBC Bluetooth audio codec, the PMA-600NE offers support of AAC. By supporting AAC, the Denon receiver offers better audio performance of the music streamed from your Apple iPod/iPhone/Pad.
  • Wireless Music Control: You will also be able to control basic playback functions (Play/Pause, FF/RW, Skip) using the receiver's remote control. Advanced music operation will still need to be handled from your Bluetooth-enable device. There is no song/artist information display on the receiver or connected TV. Continue to use your Bluetooth device's screen to view song/artist info.
Notes:
  • Bluetooth hands-free communication for making and answering phone calls is not supported.
  • Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Denon receiver.

Optical & Coaxial Digital Inputs: The PMA-600NE features two Optical (Toslink) digital inputs and one Coaxial (RCA) digital input that support PCM signals up to 192kHz/24-bit. Linear PCM signals (16- or 24-bit) with a sampling frequency of 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, or 192 kHz can be input into this unit. These digital inputs help to improve sound and visual quality of your TV audio, Blu-Ray, media players and more. You can also use these digital inputs for high-resolution sound from an audio source on your computer.

Note: The optical & coaxial digital inputs do not support Dolby Digital, DTS, DSD, or AAC.

Line-Level RCA Inputs: The Denon integrated amplifier is outfitted with four line-level, stereo RCA inputs labeled "CD", "Network", "Aux", and "Recorder". Use these analog line-level inputs to connect legacy devices, such as a CD player or tape deck.

MM Phono Equalizer: The PMA-600NE includes a phono equalizer that supports playback from turntables with a MM cartridge. This phono equalizer has high gain, and unlike loops in other circuit board patterns which cause adverse effects on sound quality, the simple, straightforward design of the PMA-600NE phono equalizer significantly improves sound.

Binding Post Speaker Terminals: The Denon integrated amplifier is equipped with binding post speaker output terminals that support bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin connectors, and banana plugs (single or dual). You can connect a single pair of loudspeakers with impedances from 4 to 16-ohm.

Headphone Output: The Denon PMA-600NE is equipped with a front-panel 1/4" headphone jack for connecting a set of headphone so you can enjoy your music privately. When headphones are plugged into the integrated amp's headphone jack, audio will no longer be output from the amplifier's connected speakers or subwoofer output.

Subwoofer Output: The PMA-600NE integrated amplifier is outfitted with a mono-subwoofer output for connection of a powered subwoofer (sold separately). The subwoofer output has a fixed 100Hz low pass crossover filter.

Line-Level Recorder Output: Audio signals input into this unit can be output to an external recording device, using the integrated amplifiers stereo line-level RCA outputs. When recording audio from a playback device connected to this unit, audio can be recorded with the playback device still connected to the integrated amp.

Remote Control: The included IR remote control can be used to operate not only PMA-600NE integrated amplifier, but Denon CD players and network audio players as well. The remote provides Power, Input, and Volume control for the integrated amplifier; as well as playback control for select Denon CD players and network audio players. In addition, there is a 3.5mm IR Control input and output for connecting Denon CD players and network audio players with an IR controller.

Tone Controls: The Denon PMA-600NE offers Bass, Treble, & Balance control. Bass (100Hz) and Treble (10kHz) can be adjusted from -8dB to +8dB. The Balance knob allows you to adjust the volume output from the left and right speakers. The Bass, Treble, and Balance control knobs are found on the unit's front-panel only (not on remote).

Auto Standby: When there is no input signal and no operation for approximately 30 minutes, this unit automatically enters Standby mode to conserve power and energy.

Protection Circuitry: This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage, or over temperature occurs for any reason.

Q
I have a Project Debut Carbon running into this pre-amp which is then running into my AVR. I have recently purchased a Denon PMA-600NE integrated amp and I am not sure which phono pre-amp I should use moving forward. The Phono Box MM or the one on this Denon?
nejat  May 07, 2025
1 answer
A
Both preamps perform the same job for your vinyl listening enjoyment, Nejat. You could connect with the built-in preamp featured in the Denon PMA-600NE, and also test the sound using your current Phono Box MM with one of the line-level inputs on your PMA-600NE and choose which option you felt sounded the best!

Q
Is the Denon PMA-600NE a good match with Snell E5 speakers ?
michael  Apr 05, 2025
1 answer
A
The Snell E5 MKII speakers feature a 4-ohm impedance Michael, and a minimum required wattage of 20-watts. The Denon PMA-600NE provides 70-watts of high-current power to a pair of 4-ohm speakers and would work well with the Snell E5 MKII floor standing speakers. The Snell speakers can handle up-to 250-watts RMS, so you could also consider stepping up to the Denon PMA-1700NE below to deliver 140-watts RMS per channel to 4-ohm speakers for even better sonic performance. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_033A1700NB/Denon-PMA-1700NE-Black.html

Q
Does tone control affect the subwoofer pre-out, i.e. can I adjust tone of main speakers only without changing the subwoofer signal?
kallekehveli  Feb 19, 2025
1 answer
A
Greetings Ville. Thank you for your question. The LFE out is not effected by the Bass tone controls. If the crossover is set to reduce bass to the main speakers in the settings, then there is a good chance the tone controls could effect the signal coming out of the LFE. This from the support team at Denon.

Q
My Sony SS-CS3 floor speakers and SA-CS9 active subwoofer are rated at 6ohm. What will be the power rating for each channel with the Denon? Thank you!
phil  Jan 25, 2025
1 answer
A
Hey Phil, while Denon does not give their exact 6-ohm rating, we know their 8-ohm rating is 45w RMS and their 4-ohm rating is 70w RMS. Doing some napkin math, this gives us an estimated 55-60w RMS rating at 6-ohm.
red  Jan 26, 2025 (Staff)
Q
Will this amp have enough power to drive a pair of floor standing Paradigm Monitor SE 8000f speakers?
david a  Jan 14, 2025
1 answer
A
Greetings Dave. Thank you for your question. The SE8000f are pretty efficient speakers and the Denon is a bit under rated with only 45 watts per channel, but for solid performance at a lower price point on the Denon, I think it will run them fine.
thomas  Jan 14, 2025 (Staff)
Q
I just added a subwoofer (Klipsch SPL-100) for 2.1 stereo. I dialed in the sub using SACDs from an OPPO blu-ray player. I got it to where I am pretty happy. However, the sub level fluctuates depending on the input I am using. CDs sound pretty good, Blu-ray audio the bass is more prominent (not in a good way) as is the optical connection from my TV and it's almost nonexistent from the turntable (Pro-Ject Debut with Ortofon OM20 stylus). Has anyone else experienced this? Is it the way the sub is connected to the Denon? (just the one sub cable to the LFE?). The Denon instructions are somewhat lacking in this regard.

Q
Will this amp pair well with Dali Oberon 5 speakers?
ted  Nov 14, 2024
1 answer
A
Greetings Ted. Thank you for your question. The Oberon 5's power range is 30-150. Any speaker is going to produce a more accurate detailed sound with wattage closer to the speakers max. This Denon will at 6 ohms which the Oberon's are will produce 55-58 watts. Thats sort of lower on the Oberon's power range. The Denon will still run them, just not as well as a higher powered amplifier will. If you need a recommendation, please call one of our advisors at 800-324-9695.
thomas  Nov 14, 2024 (Staff)
Q
Does the Denon 600Ne have enough power for my Sonys Faber Lumina II speakers? Will the itâ??s 70watts produces quality, clean sound from my Lumina IIs?
feste  Aug 28, 2024
1 answer
A
Greetings Feste. Thank you for your question. Your Lumina IIs being 4 ohms, the Denon will put out the 70 watts. It is an under rated clean 70 watts so it will have no problem running your Lumina's.
thomas  Aug 28, 2024 (Staff)
Q
I have a demon pma 600ne will this amp drive a pair of dbr 62 Elac?
miguel  Aug 22, 2024
1 answer
A
Hey Miguel, that Denon will have zero issues driving those ELACs. The amp on board is a high output amp so even at lower power output levels, it will have a clean output across the board.
red  Aug 23, 2024 (Staff)
Q
will the 45 w be enough to drive polk monitor floorstanding speakers?
neil  Jun 20, 2024
1 answer
A
It will be enough power to drive them for some people's goals but not enough power to meet everyone's goals. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to discuss your goals and check if this integrated amp will meet them.
jason  Jun 21, 2024 (Staff)
Q
Would this amp work with an audio technica lp 60x turntable? It has a built in pre amp. I am curious cause it's a super basic turntable.
derik  May 12, 2024
1 answer
A
Greetings Derik. Thank you for your question. Somewhere along the line a phono signal needs to be boosted. A phone preamp, a phono in on a receiver/amplifier, or built in the turntable. Yes this Denon will work with your table, and my guess is the phono input on the Denon will amplify the signal better than the built in preamp on the table. If you use the phono in on the Denon, switch off the preamp on your Audio Technica.
thomas  May 12, 2024 (Staff)
Q
Can the PMA-600NE be set to Bridge Mode to output as a mono speaker?
steven  Feb 10, 2024
1 answer
A
The Denon PMA-600NE is not bridgeable, Steven. It also does not have a mono mode where it can output a stereo signal to a single speaker. Though also un-bridgeable, you could consider using the Sonos amp below. When in mono mode, the same monaural audio signal is sent to both the left & right speaker outputs and is useful for sending a stereo signal to a single speaker. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_616AMP/Sonos-Amp.html
bo  Feb 11, 2024 (Staff)
Q
Hello, I recently purchased a denon pma600ne amp. I hooked up 2 niles os25 4ohm speakers. I get sound from the tweeters but no sound or indication of power from the woofer portion of either speaker. I've checked all connections and tried both phono and bluetooth inputs with the same result. Any issues possible with amp before purchasing new speakers?
erik  Feb 06, 2024
1 answer
A
Greetings Erik. Thank you for your question. If you are getting sound from the tweeters there should be no issues with the PMA600NE. That integrated amplifier does have tone controls for bass and treble. Perhaps the bass is turned all the way down? If the speakers worked fine with the previous amplifier, and not with the Denon, I would assume it would be something on the Denon.

shanks  Oct 03, 2023
1 answer
A
This Denon PMA-600NE has Bluetooth as a built-in feature for easy connection to smartphones, Shashank. If you prefer a wired connection, you can use the Scosche HookUp lightning to RCA cable in the first link below. IF you prefer better sound than the iPhone DAC you can also consider using a lightning to USB adapter and the AudioQuest Dragonfly Cobalt in the second link connected with a 3.5mm to RCA to the Denon. I hope this helps! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_142HUPLIGH/Scosche-HookUp-Premium-Lightning-Audio-Adapter-Kit-Space-Gray.html https://www.crutchfield.com/p_703DFLYCBL/AudioQuest-DragonFly-Cobalt.html

berryman  Jun 21, 2023
1 answer
A
There is no high-pass filter available on the Denon PMA-600NE when connected to a subwoofer, Donald. The subwoofer output does have a fixed 100Hz low pass crossover filter.
bo  Jun 21, 2023 (Staff)
Q
Is there any way to connect an external equalizer to this unit?
nicholas  Apr 03, 2023
1 answer
A
Unfortunately there is no way to connect an equalizer to the Denon PMA-600NE, however this does offer Bass, Treble, & Balance control. Bass (100Hz) and Treble (10kHz) can be adjusted from -8dB to +8dB. The Balance knob allows you to adjust the volume output from the left and right speakers. The Bass, Treble, and Balance control knobs are found on the unit's front-panel only.

Q
Is this work with klipsch rp8000f ?
sabri  Dec 12, 2022
1 answer
A
I see no reason why not, Sabri. The Klipsch RP8000F is certainly an advisor favorite, and you would have quite a nice setup powering a pair with the fantastic Denon PMA-600NE Stereo Integrated. This has plenty of high-current power, as well as multiple inputs to cover your line-level sources as well as your turntable. I see no issues here, Sabri!
bo  Dec 12, 2022 (Staff)
Q
Can I hook up a speaker selector to add audio zones?
jethro  Dec 04, 2022
1 answer
A
You can Jeff, no problem. To make sure the selector does not lessen the sound quality on this fantastic Denon PMA-600NE Stereo Integrated amplifier you would want to use a high-quality speaker selector. I suggest something like the Russound SDB-4.1 in the link below. This unit has beefy internals to handle higher power and also has a rotary volume on each zone and allows switching between two amplifiers, pretty sweet! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_543SDB4VC/Russound-SDB-4-1.html

Q
Does this work with active speakers?
gregory  Nov 07, 2022
1 answer
A
Greetings Greg, and thank you for your question. Technically you could use the Recorder out to an active speaker. The recorder out is fixed, so you would not be able to control the volume of those speakers thru the Denon PMA-600NE. You would have to control the volume on the active speaker.
thomas  Nov 07, 2022 (Staff)
Q
Regarding the bluetooth feature of the Denon-PMA-600NE amplifier, is it a bluetooth transmitter or receiver, or both transmitter & receiver? I need for it to have bluetooth transmitter capability so that I can use my wireless headphones. Thanks!
chris  Oct 15, 2022
1 answer
A
Greetings L, and thanks again for your question. The Denon PMA-600NE cannot transmit, just receive, the lowest cost integrated amp I found that can transmit is the NAD C368.

Q
I have a denon Pam-600ne and am trying to get it to work with a Nile's sw8 subwoofer. I have hooked everything up with a subwoofer cable but no bass - is there a setting I need to change on the denon amp? Or is it probably a problem with the subwoofer?
samir  Aug 23, 2022
1 answer
A
The recording pre out and the subwoofer pre out are not affected by settings and should always be on, Samir. If you are connected correctly to the audio input on the Niles SW8 and the unit is powered on, there may be an issue with the subwoofer sadly. I would try using a breakout cable like the one in the link below to use any audio source available to test the sub's inputs with a reliable music source. If you get no sound here, then you know there is a problem with the Niles sub! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_979CMR206/Hosa-Stereo-Mini-to-RCA-Adapter-Cable-6-foot.html

Q
If my source is a sonos port, would the sonos volume control control the level from the RCA line level outputs?
ileon  May 20, 2022
1 answer
A
So, the Sonos port AND the Denon would have influence over your volume levels. You would want to set the Denon at a "baseline" volume", and use the Sonos to control the volume, or Vice-Versa.

my Pioneer speaker have 8ohm 160watt on the back. IS this amp acceptable to power them with quality sound? would other speakers work better, and why?
mike  Mar 17, 2022
1 answer
A
This is a great amplifier with great sound. I paired mine with The Klipsch RP-600m speakers which are very efficient at 96db and I usually listen at moderate volumes. If your pioneer speakers are at least 88db and above then this would be suitable for you.

Will this amp drive my Klipsch RP-600M bookshelf speakers with a Fluance RT 85 Turntable?

A
Yes, it will be powerful enough. It should be a nice combination.
ruben  Dec 17, 2021
A
Yes, I believe it will drive the RP-600M's. I have a pair of (vintage) Polk Audio S6's that are rated 8 ohms and up to 100 w rms and it drives them nicely. I'm not familiar with the turntable you mentioned but this amp does have a phono preamp, so it should be fine.
thomas  Dec 16, 2021
A
I cannot answer this for sure(as I do not own the RP600M) but the Denon does drive my Elac Debuts 2.0s which when I look at Specs should be harder to drive than your RP-600Ms. As for the turntable, as long as you have a MM (moving Magnet) cartridge on the turntable the built-in phono stage should work according to Denon website (but I have not connected a Turntable to mine yet to confirm.) However, you might want to upgrade to an external phono preamp at a later stage to improve sound, usually built in Preamps at this price point are just average (but will get the job done).
ian  Dec 16, 2021
A
Should not have any problem driving your speakers. This amp has a wide range of compatibility over 4ohm-8ohm speakers and more than sufficient power. Your analog source turntable should fit right in. The amp can go straight analog, bypassing the digital circuitry, for a better analog experience. I am assuming that is what you're looking for.

will this amp power klh kendall tower speakers ?
william  Oct 26, 2021
2 answers
A
Hello William, Even though Denon rates this amp as 45watts, it's conservative. I have always believed that internal components and high current were more important factors to judge performance by than "watts". Of course it's all subjective. The important thing will be the size of your listening room and the sensitivity of the speakers; which the KLH is rated at 96Db. This is a highly efficient speaker as power needs go. I think it would be an great pairing!

I believe you should set the TV for two-channel DCM. DTS is a specific software encoding that I do not believe is part of the receiver. But I have definitely used the receiver with DCM from my TV with the optical output.
thomas  Jul 25, 2021
A
The 2 channel digital optical output provided by most modern TV's should definitely be compatible with the optical inputs of this amp. In other words, it will decode the stereo mix from an optical input, but not surround sound (such as dts) mixes.

As long as the cartridge on the Pro-Ject is high output (2.5 mu or above). The phono preamp is designed for moving magnet or high output moving coil cartridges. Low output moving coils such as a Denon DL 103 requires a lot more gain and will require a moving coil step up amp.

Correct. You can connect your turntable directly to the Denon amp. I think it provides excellent dynamic sound for the price, too.
robert  Jan 13, 2021

To my way of thinking you can use your cartridge.
paul  Jan 13, 2021

Correct. You just connect your RCA cables from the turntable to the Phono input and you're good to go.
ben  Jan 13, 2021
A
That appears to be correct. I don't personally own a turntable, but I would have no hesitation buying one for my Denon. What you may want to verify is the sensitivity of the circuit being compatible with whatever pickup you use in the turntable. Denon would be the best source to confirm that. I don't think it is an issue as it's mostly industry standard and it means you might crank the volume a bit more with one cartridge than another.

If your computer has SPDIF optical or coaxial digital output or analog stereo output (like headphone jacks), yes.

Yes you can, the signal is line level. You can also use it in combination with speaker output. You should always have speakers connected to the speaker binding post when using the amp. So, anything you connect to the record out should only be supplemental. The record out will be unaffected be the volume control and mute features on the amp. Balancing your JBL output will be done from their own volume control. Of course you could control overall levels from your source too.

I purchased the Denon 600 NE as a stand alone receiver for 2 channel stereo. You could put the audio out of the Denon and run that into the Pioneer unit. That way you can use the bluetooth and phono capacities of the Denon to go through your receiver. That way you retain your surround sound capacities.
marco  Aug 12, 2020
A
The Denon PMA-600NE is a 2.1 channel integrated amp that is able to deliver 45 watts at 8 ohms. Your Polk speakers are moderately sensitive at 88db and a minimum 20 watts so the Denon should drive the speakers adequately in the average larger size living room at moderately loud levels (80-85db). So if you are wanting to assemble a dedicated 2 channel rig for music, the amp would be a decent affordable choice. I would suggest that you pick up a switch that would allow you to select between the Pioneer vs the Denon so you won't have to change your speaker wiring every time you want to change between 2 channel and surround. If you are contemplating using the Denon as a power amp to drive two of your surround speakers then frankly, there are better options. Check out the power amps offered by Crutchfield if you are wanting a dedicated amp to relieve some of the demands on your Pioneer AV receiver.

The lp-120 should have a switch to turn off the phono pre-amp. Do this and connect the turntable to the phone stage on the amp.
ben  Jul 24, 2020
A
I would recommend using the preamplifier on the Denon as it is quite good and one of the primary reasons to buy this amp in my opinion. The Audio Technica TT you are using has a switch on the back that allows you to turn off the pre-amp if I'm not mistaken. You switch it to line and then you can use any external or integrated preamp you desire. Another tip would be to upgrade your cart to an Ortofon Red or Blue even better. Happy spinning!

The R-10SW has been the most simple and easy to use and good price I really like the sound, I have it hooked up with a pair of Klipsch RP-160M With the Denon PMA-600NE, I think I have a very versatile re. Analog/Digital and straight up good sounding old school system that makes sense and works too.

It drives my Pioneer BS22LR book shelf speakers fantastically. Basically the Elac 6.2 have then same sensitivity 87db and 6ohm spec as my Pioneer set. I would say they would be a very nice combo.

I can't speak for that exact speaker but if you can make a comparison it does LS50W's excellent

Q
What type of bass management does this subwoofer output provide? I see that it's specified as a "fixed 100hz low pass crossover"in Crutchfield's Details section, but -- crucially -- that specification doesn't resolve whether the line-level signal to the two satellite speakers is automatically HIGH-pass filtered at 100 hz as well whenever the sub is connected. This is an absolutely critical issue for correct implementation of a subwoofer in any two-way stereo system since it's not possible to correctly integrate a sub without rudimentary bass management including high-pass filter to the satellite channels. The user's manual doesn't clarify in the slightest, either. Thank you!.

I can tentatively confirm the PMA600-NE's line level signal to the two satellite speakers is NOT automatically high-pass filtered at 100hz when the subwoofer is connected. I confirmed this by keeping my subwoofer connected but dialing its volume/level down to zero, at which point I still heard low-frequencies from the satellite speakers. I wasn't able to validate this with any precision other than an ear test with familiar, bassy music (Rage Against the Machine and XX) and noting that the bass didn't drop out completely when the sub was zeroed out. My satellite speakers are Klipsch RP-600M, so they can reproduce low frequencies relatively well for bookshelf speakers. I hope that helps.

I respect your understanding of this technology. If I think it sounds ok or better, I am happy with it. That is I am not able to answer your question.

Like most receivers and integrated amplifiers, the speakers remain full range.

Can I use banana plugs to connect speaker wire to U.S. version of Denon PMA 600NE ? No mention of this method in owner's manual.

I USED BANANA PLUGS. But they come in different shapes and sizes too. I have found some banana plugs will fit on one amp and not on another and vice versa. Some fit better than others...

Yes, the speaker connections on the back of this unit are 5-way binding posts. They will accept banana plugs.

It is class "D". We can't afford a class "A"

Denon website says it's an AB.

It is neither but a proprietary design Denon may use a classic design but they aren't calling it as such.
