Hi everyone: Thanks for the comments for those who responded to my question regarding the purchase of a Yahama RX-V1. I'm down to either purchasing that unit or a Denon AVR-4802. Since the Yahama is an older unit and has been discontinued, I could get it for $700 less than the Denon. In a side-by-side comparison of the sound, the Denon is my favorite, but not by much. So, the question is, "is it worth spending $700 more for the Denon?" The Denon, in addition to having slightly better sound, does have two advantages: (1) Dolby Pro Logic 2 on the Denon, Dolby Pro Logic on the Yahama; (2) DTS-ES Discrete processing on the Denon, DTS-ES on the Yahama - am I right that the Denon has a newer chip for DTS processing?
If there's anything else you could add that might sway me one way or the other, I'm all ears. The Denon is nice, but $700 could go a long way towards other components...
Cheers,
Glenn
