Is a Denon 3810 a rumor or a fact?

I mentioned a possible 3810 on another thread and Mark asked...

Dave, your mention is the first I've heard about a new receiver coming....

Can anyone else confirm this? Not that I'm assuming your dealer is lying, but usually something is leaked to forums....


I would love to here from others here on whether this possibility has merit, so I started a new thread. I think one or two others may be curious. ;\)


Mark,
I know peeps, dude! ha, ha!
Over on AVS Forums I heard talk of a new model successor to the 3808 (guessed maybe in the May'ish time frame).

When I was at my local dealer speaking with the shop owner, I said I had heard a rumor of a 3810 and did he know what and when. He just said "June". When I asked about what features might be added, he said absolutely no word, they are being very tight lipped, as usual.

Hardly a rumor when it comes straight from the Dir of Prod Dev (Jeff Talmadge aka DenonJeff).

If that was the case then I suspect the 3810 would be the other model.


I'm guessing you are probably correct.

A 1910 is doubtful. The other new model release would most likely be the 3810. Denon will be making a formal announcement in April as to the new model releases.


For guesses on what features that might be good to add to the next 38xx, there is a (short) discussion on AVS. Search: ' Any info on the upcoming Denon 3809? '


Got any thoughts or opinions?
