I'm curious if anyone can tell me the difference between the Denon 1083 and the 3803 or 3805 recievers. The specs are pretty close to each other. The manual I looked at on the denon site is used for both models. I was told by a sales guy at the local HT shop that denon just put cheaper components in the 1083 to meet a price point for the chain electronic stores. Was told by another that there is hardly any difference at all. Well there is a $300 price difference. Reviews of the 1083 are not easy to come by.
I'm doing the search now for a reciever and Denon seems to be the way to go for my price point, although I hear the manual sucks.
