Many people are into the Yamahas 1400, 2400 and the Denon 3805 ou mentioned. In that similiar class Pioneer Elite is supposed to be pretty nice.
I throw these out to you..becuase it just keeps getting more and more confusing! LOL
BTW Yam should also have some new stuff soon.
I am leaning toward YAm for price to performance ratio. Still that DEnon is real nice.
I really can't decide, so thats why i too am waiting bit.
meanwhile I am still digging the new Ax.s all around--except my rear channel keeps clipping out.
