which reciever is better, the denon AVR-5800 or the kenwood VR-5900. THe denon costs more but... nevermind denon is better. what is da difference between these denon AVR-5800, and the denon AVR-4802.Are watts the only diference? And should the watts be equally be spread out over the speakers or unevenly over them. I am gettin 1 sub, 2 rears, 2front, and 1 center. Thanks!

IMHO, friends don't let friends buy Kenwood.
There's a reason the 5800 is more expensive. Not that I don't admit there's some attractive features with the Kenwood, imho, you're comparing apples to oranges.
Many have said that the 5800 is the best receiver out there (okay, B&K), but I haven't heard that statement with the Kenwood. Ever.

The B&K AVR-307! Well, don't buy the Kenwood over the Denon.
