Hi,

The 801 D4 are on it's way. Can they be powered by the Denon AVR X8500H?
Thank you kindly.

Caesar, welcome to AA!
Congrats on your purchase.

The 801 D4 is not extremely power hungry, but I don't think there is any AVR on the market that will do it full justice.
I'd keep my AVR for center and surrounds, and add a beefy stereo amp (or monoblocks) to feed the B&Ws properly.

Awesome speakers, Caesar!

I agree with the others--to really hear the B&Ws, you need to invest some serious coin in stereo or dual monoblock amplification. Plenty of choices in the $10-20K range from McIntosh, Bryston, Pass...

Denon makes very good consumer-grade AVRs (I have one), but you're in a very different area now. Good luck!
