Thanks for the input- tried Ebay today but got out bid- price to close to new.
Found Denon AVR 785S A/V Receiver in Costco for $380.00Not to shabby guys what do you think?
It is supposed to be like the 1905.

Yes Paul, the 785 is identical to the 1905. If you want to keep it down to $400 rather than $500, you should give serious consideration to the Pioneer 1015.

Well for anyone still following this post I have narrowed it down to two:
HK335 or Denon 785.
Any thoughts or experience with the either?

In reply to:

I agree! I just finished putting together a system for someone and the 1015 was the receiver I went with. Very, very nice receiver. The 1015 although not rated for 4 ohms is running a 4 ohm center with zero problems.
I would take a long look at this one. It blew me away. I was actually going to post more on it at a later date. Several months back I played with the 1014 and it looks like everything that was wrong with the 1014 (There wasn't much!) Pioneer looked after on the 1015.

I got to tell you I have driven myself nuts here- I have found stuff on fourm that dog everthing I like.
On some forums- pioneer 1015- does not do this or that so they would never buy one
H/K stuff- everytime you change souces it goes back to 5.1 instead of staying in 7.1
Denon- even with this brand some pros & cons.
I have an outlaw 1050- I wish these guys would make a 7.1 version of this AVR. I like everthing about it!
So now what?

Pick out the one with the options you like and go for it.Piss on what everyone else has to say about it,you are the one that has to be happy with your purchase.
