Hey all,

I am looking to upgrade current receiver with one of the following:

Yamaha RX-V3800
Pioneer Elite VSX-94TXH
Denon AVR-3808CI

They all are positioned at or around the same price point, I have sampled the Pioneer and was impressed however I have friends that swear Yamaha makes the best receiver, and I have had both good and bad times with my current Denon 2807.

For the money which is better and I realize this will be opinionated, and more equally important what I like my system to sound like personally, but the board's insight is greatly appreciated. In addition are the Faroudja and ABT processors comparable upscale technologies as that might set these receivers apart as well.

Thanks
