Update: My brother-in-law went with a Denon AVR-1910. He got a deal on it which made it less than $400 after shipping, I think. Here's hoping it does everything he wants. I'm kind of excited to hear what he thinks of it after he gets it.

My sister says with Dynamic EQ on she's been noticing details she hadn't heard before. They tend to listen at lower volumes, so that makes sense. She doesn't like the Denon remote, though, which seems to be a common complaint. I can't remember what she didn't like specifically, but I think I may get her a Harmony at some point. I want to get one just to try one out. I've never had a problem using multiple remotes, so this would simply let me trial the universal lifestyle, and if it's not something that dramatically improves my life, I can pass it on to my sister to replace the apparently crappy Denon remote. Is the Harmony One sort of the sweet spot in features and price? It seems to be.

I would say the 700 is as it is a little cheaper and has nearly the same functionality. It accepts a few less devices and needs to be plugged in via USB to recharge other than that I would say it is the best of function and price.

Hmm, it says it supports up to 6 devices while the One supports up to 15. I only have 5 devices to control right now, but I can see exceeding that pretty easily. But you're right, it does seem like the better deal for most people.

If you don't need rf, and you truely want to check out a harmony, the "one" is the way to go
