Re: Denon AVR-3808ci - Any Thoughts?


One comparative test was done a few weeks ago here in Norway between several receivers. The selection was done on sound quality (both 2-channel and surround) with room correction disabled. Here are the results (from best to worst):
1) Yamaha RX-V1800 (best surround sound and second to Onkyo on stereo)
2) Pioneer LX50
3) Onkyo TX-SR705 (best stereo sound)
4) Sony STR-DA3300ES
5) Denon AVR-2808

They all cost around $1500 here.

I have a Denon AVR-3806 and have heard recently new receivers from Yamaha and Onkyo. They obviously sound better than my Denon.

Go for Yamaha, Onkyo og Pioneer. I don't think that you will be desapointed by any of these ...
