I recently wrestled with this very decision, and ended up purchasing the Yamaha. I was able to listen to both of them, and my untrained ears could not tell a difference. Of course, I was looking at a 100$ price difference between the Denon (499$) and Yamaha (399$) as well, which basically made...

Just to put it into perspective, I just paid 732$ (tax included) on a pair of Monitor 7 v.3s at Definitive Audio in Seattle. So even if you were on the receiving end of some devious salesmanship you still came out way better than I did. Of course, my bargaining "skills" are non-existant, and...

You might want to look at the Denon 1803: 6.1, two zones, should have all the inputs you need. Retails for $499 everywhere I checked locally, can find it cheaper/much cheaper online depending on whether you buy from a Denon authorized dealer. Also, run a check through activebuyersguide.com -...

Excellent- help from Seattle! Chris, I was planning on a trip to Definitive Audio this weekend, as they are a dealer for Paradigm, what else should I hit down there? Will these places have speakers in the 600$ range, or are the they all top-flight outfits? From the web sites I was a little...

I guess thats my biggest problem, finding a store that has a low priced and a high-priced receiver on my list in a listening evironment. You'd think that living in a large city like Seattle that would be easy. But most stores I have found are either the national chains (no real listening...

Ok, here goes my first post I currently have a home sorta-theater setup going on with a Sharp 27" TV, Apex DVD, VCR, a JVC stereo receiver, and two older Fisher floor speakers (15" woofer, 5" midrange, 3" tweeter). This setup "sounds good" to my newbie ears. I am planning on building a modest...
