This receiver usually sits between $890 and $910 based on its 90-day and 180-day averages. At $749 it is $140 to $160 below those norms, making this one of the better deals we have tracked on this model outside the major seasonal sales windows. The $200 savings off list price is the kind of cut that typically does not stick around long.

What You're Getting

The AVR-S970H delivers 90W x 7 channels for a full 7.2 or 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos surround setup in medium-sized rooms. It passes 8K/60Hz video through three of its eight HDMI ports, and supports Variable Refresh Rate, Quick Frame Transport, and Auto Low Latency Mode for lag-free gaming.

Wireless streaming runs through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HEOS multi-room, with native support for Spotify, TIDAL, and Pandora. A phono input means you can connect a turntable directly without an external preamp.

Who This Is For

Best for anyone building or upgrading a home theater who wants 8K passthrough and HDMI 2.1 gaming features without jumping to Denon's more expensive X-series line. It also fits if you need multi-room audio across HEOS-compatible speakers.

Skip it if you need more than 90W per channel for a large dedicated theater room, or if you are holding out for an all-time low that may not arrive until Black Friday.

Final Verdict

For $749 the AVR-S970H undercuts its own historical averages by a meaningful margin while delivering the core specs most buyers actually need: 8K video, HDMI 2.1 gaming support, and Dolby Atmos in a single box. If you are ready to wire up a 7.2 system this spring. This is the price to lock in.
