My 10+ old onkyo finally gave out and I went out and picked up a new receiver for my 5.1 axiom setup (m80's vp150 qs8). I got a Denon 4308ci that was a floor model (but not molested on the shelf) for 2200. With it I will get the free software upgrades that add a few things to it
LINK . I am just wondering if I should have got one of the onkyos...like the 906. The only thing I can really see is 5 more watts, thx2 cert, and the only big difference I see if the vid processing chip. I will run my vid through the receiver but really only to get the OSD. I have a 720P tv and watch DRTV hd, and BR or reg DVD's on my playstation 3. Do I really need a better vid chip?? Also I know the denon has wifi but I can run a cat5 easy enough if I had too. Also one of the things the denon adds with for free is the ability for you to do some basic controls on other HDMI devices. This would help me with getting down to just one DRTV DVR remote with out having to toggle switches and hit certain buttons. Big on the WAF lol
So did I make a good buy...I always am plagued with buyers remorse lol
