Denon AVR-3803 vs. Harman Kardon AVR-7200

[LayDeeA]

Thanks, so much to all of you for your prompt and informative responses to my . I have had some time to think about it and have decided to wait until next month (Mar. 04) for the Denon 3805 Model to be released. I want to evaluate it as well before I take the plunge. I must admit that I am leaning more towards the Denon rather than the HK. Hopefully, the newer (Denon) model will have upgraded features that will confirm it as the obvious choice I need for my HT . Will review and post my findings at a later date.

Thanks again.

P.S. I mistakenly omitted my center channel from my original post. It is a JBL SII Center Channel which makes it 7.1 Channel Surround. My bad...

Just read your notes on looking for a new receiver. Have you seen the new digital HK's? If you are looking to spend $1000 - $1500, check out the dpr series 1001, 2001, and 2005. The later two are coming out later this month, as well as the avr 7300. My friend has the Denon 2802 and is frustrated with the fact you cannot control the bass/treble on the surround speakers. The new Denon 3508 is a nice piece. I am also in the market for a new receiver and almost ordered the 7200 for $850 through J and R Music world (free shipping). I spend some more time researching newer models and am anxious to hear the new HK digitals. Let me know if you've heard them yet.
