There’s no shapely reason why Denon’s marketing folk are calling this new AV offering the ‘Imperial Death Star’ but, they are, and maybe it's because it weighs the same, costs as much and can obliterate most bank accounts in one big blast. Denon was aiming to do the same on Monday with its new earphones.

This home cinema battleship comprises the Denon AVP-A1HD THX Ultra2 - Reference Class AV Pre/Processor and the POA-A1HD THX Ultra2 Reference Class 10-Channel power Amp. The combination will set you back £10,000.

The AVP-A1HD pre/processor supports all high-def audio and video standards, all the main networking/streaming standards, has in-built Wi-Fi, USB and iPod connectivity along with 6 HDMI 1.3a inputs and outputs. The POA-A1HD amp is a 10-channel monster, capable of driving 300W x 10 channels [speakers], with support for all the key HD, surround and video decoding standards and two HDMI 1.3a outputs.

The rest of the feature list for these systems look like a telephone book. All you need to know is that the sound will probably kill all annoying pets on your road and put a big fat smile on your face. Out in March.-Martin Lynch
