    quick explanation: what's the difference between the Denon AVR-1803 and 2802?

    After reading all this I have a question as a newbie, I am thinking about getting the 2802 from dakmart who said he warranites it for a year. If I want to make the jump to 7.1 in a few years what will I need to do? Buy a new amp for each channel or just the rear one that woudl be split?
