Hi Contentt,

Denon and Onkyo IMO are two of the best receivers manufacturers in the market today. From a features, build quality, and value perspective. From a general standpoint there is not much difference between them. Brand loyalists usually will stick with what has worked in the past.

One general thing to note is that Onkyo receivers run hotter (temperature wise) than comparable Denon models. If you choose the Onkyo make sure to keep enough space around the unit to keep it well ventilated.

I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
