First H/T Receiver and DVD purchase???

[Cumminspuller]

You guys are going to make my head explode. I just had an aquiantance of mine tell me he personally would choose Denon over H/K or Marantz. He felt that over the last few years H/K quality and sound quality has gone done and that Marantz he said was pretty high end equipment and probably doesn't even produce the SR6300 I have been looking at. Probably just slap their name on it.

So I jumped over and looked at the Denon 2803 and noticed it had 7 seperate amplifiers, one for each channel. Do the AVR525 or the SR6300 have that? I haven't seen anywhere if they have? Is it better, worse, just as good?

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

SR6300 have 6 channel power amplifier, but trust me you don't really need 7 channel amplifier. 5 channel amplifier is actually enough. If you can fork out a bit more, SR7300 give you more ample power supply and better DAC and probably other extra features. I think it's worth the extra price. Both share the same learning remote control, which is cool. In case you care where they are made, SR6300 is made in China and SR7300 is made in Japan. Both models were recently discontinued so you should be able to get some discount. Btw, I'm happy with my SR7300 for both music and movie. Good luck.

F1,

Did you mean to say the SR6300 has 6 amplifiers, one for each channel?

I did find it interesting that refurbished HK and Marantz receivers have a full factory warranty afterwards. Buat when I looked at the Denon refurbs, they only had a 90 day parts and labor warranty. Am I missing something here? Or does Denon not have to much faith in their technicians or maybe their equipment?

Yes, just like the Denon you mentioned. Afaik, all HT receivers have discrete 5 or 6 or 7 amplifiers (one for each channel) onboard, however, all channels share the same power supply.
