Unregistered guest | I'm in the exact same situation and price range for a receiver. I'm hoping to find something on black fri. I'm leaning towards the Denon AVR-1905. |

New member Username: BryanhFresno, CA Post Number: 9 Registered: Dec-04 | I'm a bit lost too. Trying to decide between the Denon 2105, Marantz 4500, and Harman/Kardon 335. There are so many options out there and so many features that each unit touts, it's overwhelming! I plan to use my receiver for DVD, DVD-Audio, and CDs about equally. |

New member Username: BryanhFresno, CA Post Number: 10 Registered: Dec-04 | Whoops, hit the button too soon. It may come down to a battle of features for me if the sound quality of these three are on even footing, I suppose. For example the Denon has a memory system that remembers the mode for each input. I think that would be helpful. The HK has individual crossovers for the front 3 speakers which I would imagine is an aid in tuning the sound correctly. The Marantz doesn't seem to have either of these (and no crossover adjustment at all that I could find) but a reputation for being musical. Argh! I want it all but I can't have it... |

New member Username: FotekPost Number: 3 Registered: Nov-04 | the Denon also automatically detects incoming signal type. for example i have DVD player connected via coaxial and it automatically switches between stereo and dolby digital, if i take out a CD and insert a DVD |

New member Username: SunseakerPost Number: 4 Registered: Dec-04 | asd asd, I am considering the Onkyo 602 and Yamaha 650. Any reason why you dodn't go for either of these and chose the Denon? |

adam1111 Unregistered guest | I need help with choosing a receiver, 75% home theater and 25% music, I was looking at the Yamaha v550 or the 5760. I was also looking at Klipsch synergy speakers. Is this a good match or is there a better receiver for Klipsch speakers or better speakers for under $1000? |

New member Username: YamahapaisteNiskayuna, Ny Usa Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-05 | the question is how much do you want to spend? I am looking at the cost benefit ratio myslef, and at the price points that the other responders have mentioned I would reccomend the Yamaha RX-V 750. |

Crunchy Unregistered guest | I bought a Sony STR-DB790. Nice reciever. About AU$800 worth. Dunno where you are, but in England or US probably a lot less. |
