Personally, I doubt it. Every new model Denon receiver is always touted by their new owners as being "even better and much more powerful than the last" from the 3801 to the 3803 and now the 3805. With all of these claims, you'd think Denon would have put everyone else out of business by now. Put the 3803 next to a 3805, and w/ the exception of features, you'd be hard pressed to hear a difference, if any at all.
