Re: Denon Abecollins

My speakers are easy loads so I'm probably not stressing the Denon receiver much. I'm happy with the Denon 3803 but the remote could be better. Most of the buttons are small and not easily "learned" by touch. I'm still getting used to it. I like the fact that this receiver "upconverts" all video inputs (s-video, composite, and two component inputs) to one set of component video outputs. This makes it real easy to hook up to the TV... just one set of component cables to the TV regardless of the various video sources going into the receiver. The receiver seems to have enough power to drive all the speakers sufficiently but in my setup, I'm using a tube amp for the mains. This is my first real A/V receiver so I can't provide a comparison to other brands. I bought Denon on the recommendation of a friend based on my budget. The store didn't have the new 2803 but I think I got an OK price on the 3803. Paid $899.

Just finished setting this up a few days ago.
