bangbang023 Veteran Posted February 28, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 28, 2005 Well Yamaha has some nice lower cost options for people with a budget and, while I'm still a budding home theater guy and don't have hands on experience with the high end stuff, most of my buds who have worked with it all seem to prefer Denon for their overall sound and construction quality.

trance Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Onkyo by far... High quality, high power amps. Relatively low cost, and lots of features. Just mak sure you do NOT use the bundled speaker wire. Use at a bare min 16 guage, preferably 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal2002 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Pioneer makes the best AVR's, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscheatsforyou Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Onkyo and Denon are a tie for right now, vote some more people to see who the finalist is!!! looks like Yamaha is the weakest link, goodbye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se7en.hu Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I personally think Onkyo (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toastyone Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Pioneer makes the best AVR's, IMO 585545525[/snapback] :yes: Same here, you should have at lease put some more options in the poll....Also I loath Sony receivers :x (N) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't vote...because I've never owned any of those three that he listed. I do own a Pioneer Elite 45TX and :wub: it. I've heard good reviews on the Sony ES series (not the vanilla line...sort of like Pioneer where the vanilla line is not good). cscheatsforyou - if you are trying to make a purchase decision...don't go by the poll alone. Check out www.hometheaterforum.com , www.avsforum.com as those forums have some great reviews and links to all your home theater questions/products.

christracy Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 i like onkyo and denon but i voted for denon as my receiver is a denon. marantz and nad are good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Onkyo imo. Denon is really good also. But Mclintosh and Sunfire etc are better also twice as much as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cscheatsforyou Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 denon is winning, it has more votes!! man there are so many more companys, ok going to look them up. any more votes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipe Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I did not vote for Denon just because their prices can be way out there. I personally have 2 Sony receivers. They were the cheapest with the features I wanted at the time. I have had one for about a year and the other for a few years. I have never had any problems with either. I had to vote for Onkyo to tie it up :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamagrad03 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Denon, by far wins this race. I have been involved in custom home theater prof installation sine 96...and nothing in this range comes close. For the money, Denon has something on every single price level. You can get an AVR1604 that has PLENTY of power (for its price range) and also has 6.1 capability, and 5/6 channel stereo...for like 330 bucks. Thats crazy. The major difference between Denon and the rest is how they rate their amps. Sony will be glad to slap a 100x5 (wattage) sticker on their POS amps and ship em out the door. But a "100" watt sony amp cant touch a 65 watt Denon amp. Denon has a seperate amp PER CHANNEL. That is huge. Thats how they enable true 5/6 channel stereo...with much less distortion...and much greater sound quality than sony. Onkyo has some decent high end stuff...but it doesnt touch Denon or Marantz when it comes to sound quality. And their lower price range stuff really cant run with Denon. I have worked with Sony, Pioneer in great detail...and they too fall short. If you want to shell out 10k and get something better than Denon, you can...its called McIntosh. To the one who said Denon was complete junk, I hope you were joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
