Buy the Denon AVR/3803! Or for around $700.00 from authorized Denon etailers you can still get the 3802 which is what Im currently running.I've had it for about a year now,and I watch a movie about every night and it's just now breaking in properly.It truely is for the money,the best receiver ever!If you want more unbiased confirmation, just go to audioreview.com and look at how many reviews it has compared to any other receiver (160 something I think)and it still scores a 4.6 out of a possible 5! Now thats impressive! Any questions? Email me @ www.nathometheater@yahoo.com. Hope this helps you!
Opinions on best "a/v reciever" used as "pre/pro"
Am currious to know everyone's oppinion(who's tried different modestly priced receivers) on which receiver has the best "pre-amp" and/or "digital processing" section for both movies and cd music in the "sub-$1k receiver" price point?! While I may use the amps in the receiver to drive the center and rears, I plan on only using the "pre-out's"(must have those) for the mains to go to my little tube amp for my "klipsch" speakers I'm going to use(I think)
So, I basically want to know what receiver has the most "hi-end", clear, open, detailed, and dynamic sound "digital in" from a DVD player for both DD/DTS movies and standard CD's! I don't want any receiver(I think) that retailed for much more than $1k(less used of course). Again, I'll be using another amp for my mains, and need "pre-out's" for the mains at least. I don't care any about trick surround modes, except perhaps Dolby Pro Logic II(preferably).
I am considering Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, Onkyo mainly(those 4). The speakers are probly going to be the "slightly foreward sounding" and agressive Klipsch SB2's driven by a Tube amp. Thanks for the input
