I am torn between this and a Denon X2100W... would you buy this again or go with the Denon?

I'm an installer. I install what I know and comfortable with. The app is easy to use and the receiver works and sounds great. No complaints from me or any of my customers. When I show the customer how to use the app, their impressed by how easy it is to use.

It's a good unit. What I don't like about it is that Bluetooth is external not build-in. I had Sony before $300 cheaper than Yamaha and Bluetooth was already there. So far no complains other than that. Also Amazon price for that unit is is way higher than on eBay. I hope this helps.

My Denon died (no sound) after about 3-1/2 years. I won't buy Denon again. Also the iPhone app is lousy. Great idea if it would work. I have an XBMC remote that works flawlessly. Denon should be able to make something at least as good.

Thanks P. Seto, I think I will try the same. However, I Checked out the Onkyo 605 at my local Best Buy ($499), but on Amazon ($408), and it looks like it could do some serious damage. My only gripe is that it only has 2 hdmi inputs. I may want to add a PS3 at a later date, which would have my entertainment system running 3 hdmi cables. Is True HD and Dolby Digital plus a huge difference with the onkyo receiver capable of this type of audio?

Hey Balaji did you get an answer I'm shopping the same recievers and I'm stuck between the two I hear the onkyo runs super hot maybe the 707 is more comparable, anyway I'm leaning towards the denon 1910 Jeff Helmlinger

I was in the market for a new AVR earlier this year. I bought a Sony locally on sale and returned it as I wasn't happy with the sound. I ran it side by side with an older Denon and just felt the Denon produced clearer, more natural sound with both movies and CDs I know well. Even though the Sony had the features I wanted, the sound quality just wasn't there to my ears and I bought a new Denon. If you can, take a CD you know well to a stereo shop and try a side by side comparason for yourself (with the same speakers or headphones.) You may find you prefer one or the other. After all, isn't the sound quality the most important attribute? I was in the market for a new AVR earlier this year. I bought a Sony locally on sale and returned it as I wasn't happy with the sound.

Date 14 October 2009. Hey I am late in the game. Can still find the 876 online. My question too you is do you think the 876 power rating is accurate. Also looking at the 806. The 806 is maybe $300 to $400 dollars less. Do you think their is a big difference? It is 140x7 to 130x7 does it sound as close as it seems? Speakers are JBL Studio Series. Also like to watch movies in Dolby and my Denon 1082 which is 110x6 seems to run a little quiet on the center channel. Please give me your thoughts if you have time. Thank You.

Matt, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one but from what I have read, the 7008 is a step above the Denon. Here is a link to a review I read: http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/marantz-sr5008-sr6008-sr7008 I have not installed a new 7008 so I cannot give you an opinion based on personal experience... Hope this helps. Brad

I've found it not to work well. Freezing and causing you to have to unplug and replug in the receiver to reset it!!! A real pain. Best to get a newer and higher level Denon.

You would need a receiver. I would recommend either Yamaha or Denon budget around $300 - $500

That is Personal Preference and subjective, I can't comment on the current Yamaha Line up but feel that Denon seems to be one of the leading edge AVR's these days. Their Auddessy Setup is really awesome as it automatically measures the distances and sets the proper levels of the speakers for you.

Glad I could help Louise. I'm not sure if you have purchased the Onkyo or not yet. I'd be interested in your opinion of it. I tried an Onkyo 607 and was not impressed. I went with a Harman Kardon 3390 stereo amp. It has 2 sub-outs, 80 wpc and will blow down the house with 1 Sony W2500 sub. A VERY good sub for $100 bucks btw.Harman Kardon HK 3390 High Performance 2 x 80W Stereo Receiver,Sony SA-W2500 Performance Line 100 Watt Subwoofer

Good question...I have mines up top too, it does not sound bad. What receiver or amplifier are you using or how many watts per channel?I have an Onkyo 80 watts per channel and it sounds pretty good but I am in the process of getting the Onkyo 828.Check your settings, db

You have to either split one sub channel, or, preferably, use subs with line pass through capability. SVS SB13-Ultra comes to mind. This receiver sounds great. I returned a Denon x4000 and this is way better. It even sounds better than my Crown studio amps. And the room correction is way better than Audyssey Platinum's XT32 features.

Denon 1910. The audyssey on the new denons are the best @ $500.. set it and leave it alone.. Manual next to impossible to read but when u figure it out, WOW!!

"nothing more than an ethernet cable?" My friend, it appears you have much to learn in the ways of being better than everyone else in home electronics.Price spent > Actual performance. Once you learn this simple rule, you will be the ultimate audiophile, ready to rule the world with Bose Cubes and Monster HDMIs.Sad thing is, I was actually considering getting rid of my HK receiver and trying a Denon, not anymore.

I agree with others here; Onkyo receivers pretty much give you the best bang for your buck. Sound is always in the ear of the beholder. I like cambridge soundworks speakers. Whatever you do, dont spend a ton of money on cables. you get professional grade cables at monoprice for pennies on the dollar.

Just finished setting up my 507 over the weekend, it sounds great, love it for the price, it should enough power for most of the home theather system. It support 5.1 only, if you want 7.2 then should go with the 607. I had been research, compare the similar features and price range receiver such as Yamaha, Denon, Sony, etc, and read a lot of customer review, I finally settle with the 507, I am not regret at all. Good luck.

Why would you want to? Hi def sound sent to a fuzzy analog tv...don't do it. You have defeated the purpose of buying the Denon amp.
