    Denon AVR 1082 vs 3803

    Chuck, Thanks for the assessment. I went through the same process and I am very tempted by some of the 3803 features. I am trying to resist the urge to get the latest and somewhat greatest. I haven't been able to audition the 1082/3802-3803 side by side. Unless, I was completely taken by the...

    Denon AVR 1082 vs 3803

    Lions and Tigers and HT Receivers

    And I thought buying a car was confusing. It's got nothing on HT Receivers. So here I am with some questions. I am looking to get a solid HT receiver on a $600 budget and a decent DVD/CD player for an additional $300. I have a cambridge Sound Works Ensemble III (a gift that has been sitting...
