Hello, I've had my eye on the X4000 model since it was released but I noticed the nice price reduction on this one. For a 200$ difference, worth it?

The 4520 has 2 more channels and 25 watts more on each channel, also a lot bigger, so if you don't need all the channels and want a smaller foot print, save the cash and get the x4000

Hello, no, I don't think that is worth it, for that difference I always prefer the last model.
2052067
Personally I have not compared specs against the x4000, but I will say I am dissatisfied with my 4520CI and would recommend against it. Hopefully Denon has upped their quality in their newer models, but the 4520 is buggy, and not of the quality I am used to for Denon. I have been using Denon myself for the past 30 years and every iteration gets a little worse. Ill be looking for a different brand for my next AV receiver unless I see som significant improvement in their reviews.

Both receivers are essentially the same. The AVR 4520CI is a couple of years older than the current X4000 model.

It depends on your priority. If you care more about music experience than the latest movie surround sound than it's worth it. For me, I wouldn't trade it for the x4000.

Iam still on the fence due to the price. Saw a nice looking toshiba for 629.00-any thought? He loves mac as opposed to microsoft. HHMM.

even though i haven't seen the xbr5 in action, i have seen the xbr6 up close and personal and can tell you that it is definitely far better investment than the xbr5. the 10bit color depth makes all the difference, and as far as xbr6 vs. xbr7 120Hz is sufficient. cdw has the 52" xbr6 on sale for $2942.99 link: http://dw.com.com/redir?astid=2

I am very underwhelmed with the web cam in the ASUS UL30A-X5. Its low quality, low res. does ok in low light. Always has a lag of about 2-3 seconds. If the integrated webcam is a selling point for you then look elsewhere. If you can get past these downfalls, you will love the X5 (like I do).

CX150 has been dead for a long time. Its replacement was the CX200, I prefer the CX300 of course. They just go up in quality and price. CX200 is the cheapo model and the CX400 is the reasonably expensive one. They have a lot more that just increase in price and quality. I prefer the CX300 because they are sub $50 and are great. The CX400 is ok, kinda overpriced for what they are, really just nicer looking CX300s. They with a holder, case, and a bunch of other stuff,

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

i can certainly see the 390/690 units coming real soon ! i am going to wait for the 680 to be launched and then wait for a month or two for the price to stabilize and then take the plunge :-) BTW, amazon states that the 680 will be available for shipping in 2 -4 weeks .... not sure if that is a typo too...

No one appreciates forward thinking more than I do, but consider that this model already sports a dual-core processor. It also has nearly 4 Gb of RAM (enough for one of the two 64-bit cores) and a relatively small screen. My point is this: for $300.00 it is an outstanding value. I use my quad-core machine with 16 Gb (RAM) desktop to do the heavy processing in my life - this machine is perfect for the periphery work that I do whenever I'm not at home. Can the processor be upgraded? Perhaps - but with much difficulty. And yes it is soldered in but that isn't the main issue here. Quad core, Hex core, and everything on up would require a RAM upgrade to utilize those processors effectively - otherwise one may be throwing $$$s and time out of the window when it may be more cost and time efficient to simply buy a more powerful netbook, laptop, etc. with the power-user features already baked in. I hope this helps.

just buy the x core,whatever is cheaper,both work great,I looked for one that had same wiring figuration so it was simple to intstall.

I have no experience with the x3. but considering the cost and bulkyness I probably would go for the x2 which I have and thoroughly enjoy and like. Go and check out reviews for the x3 and determine what you want.

Thanks, have been tracking the prices. The 630 model is below 900.00 and looks like a good option if the 650 doesn't acome down soon. I'll wait alitlle longer. Hate tp pay more when it was that low. New models will be coming out soon at higher prices, so may see some closeout here.

In all reality, 1600MHz is about as good as it gets. You've got the stability and pretty close to the speed of the other speeds. The only real difference where that 2400 is actually noticeable compared to the 1600 is when you're benchmarking. But for day-to-day operations and even high performance tasks, they'll perform pretty close to the same. I'd stick with the 1600 for stability and price.

I plan to keep mine, but for the money, it is DEFINITELY worth considering the Behringer X32. Besides a multitude of other features (including 2x as many channels), 8 DCAs, flying Faders, and an amazing colored LCD scribble strip are things you won't find on the 16.4.2. And no, I am not paid by Behringer to say that!

I would suggest reading the reviews on CNET.com & AMAZON.com for in-depth information from users. Personally I love it! But there is a learning curve to the X500, but that's due to the plethora of features & options for each shot. You can get as close as 2" away, if there's enough light, for great micro-shots. Compare them feature for feature, & whichever matches your photography style best will be your choice. I generally keep mine in auto mode & have it at the ready. It hasn't let me down yet... I am also building a recipe book & the food picts looks mighty tasty! For the features, 16MP & the price I would choose the GE again!

I went today to look at HDtv's. I saw both the 46XBR4 and the 3000W and another 3000? Sony. All I can say is that by far the XBR4 was crisper and brighter, it looked more like reality. They had ESPN-HD feed on from Direct-TV. Is the difference worth the price, that's something you have to decide. Go look at them, I saw them at CC. I actually spent a good hour in a recliner they had setup and just watched the 46XBR4 comparing it to the sets around it. This is the one I'm getting, it was simply the best picture constantly, even better than models bigger in size with 1080p. It really stood out in the finer details when next to the other sets.

Gottlieb, that's NOT what I said. I'm talking same feature set/performance, not price. The VSX 31 is equivalent to the 1020, not the 1120. You're comparing an apple to an orange.
