A/V receiver: HK, Yamaha or Denon ?
Hi, I have to buy a new a/v receiver and I'd like have some your opinion about this models:
Yamaha RX V540
Denon AVR 1803
Harman Kardon 2550
What, between these models, do You think is the best about mechanics, construction and performances ?
Thanks. :) :) :)
Dang, and I just picked the Yammy 540 against the Denon
Except that was the 5803, so we are talking a different receiver. Can't tell you much about the 1804. Had nothing to do, so stopped into an Ultimate store the other day...salesman agreed with me after I made him listen and choose. Denon sounded congested in comparison, and lacked extension on both ends, although it did seem a bit tighter on the bottom. Yamaha had wider soundstage. I expected more for a $3800 price differential. Then again, I've always thought the big Denons of the past few years have been pooches.
To each their own.
