Denon AVR-X3400H vs Marantz SR5012 vs Yamaha RX-A870 (1 Viewer)

Hi to everyone!

I decided to upgrade my home cinema system and i am currently looking for a new AV. I am willing to spend a maximum amount of $1000.

After googling and consulting with some tech savy friends i have narrowed down my options to these 3 AVs:

1) Denon AVR-X3400H
https://www.amazon.com/Denon-AVRX3400H-Channel-Network-Receiver/dp/B072Z9ZGSZ

2) Marantz SR5012
https://www.amazon.com/Marantz-SR5012-Channel-Surround-Receiver/dp/B072ZJ9SRM

3) Yamaha RX-A870
https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-AVENTAGE-Component-Receiver-RX-A870BL/dp/B07228XKNQ

I would love to hear your thoughts about which AV i should choose and why. I am leaning towards the Denon system, but if you have a different opinion you would help me immersely if you shared your thought.

Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for my bad English!

Pick the cheapest one that has the features you want/need. If a lower end model has the features, go with that. Maybe download the manuals and see which one makes the most sense to you. There's not a lot of difference between the 3 your linked to.

I personally like the Denon because of the room correction (Audyssey) but I wouldn't rule the others out just because of that.

The Marantz also has Audyssey. FWIW
