No, the 3300 is part of the old 1300-2300-3300 series. The new 1400 and 2400 have significant improvements, most notably the YPAO automatic room and speaker equalization. The 3300 hasn't been upgraded and it's unclear whether there will be a 3400 or whatever. The Denon 3803 is a fine receiver, but it doesn't have the automatic equalization feature, which in my view is a significant advantage of the Yamaha.

be wary of yamahas room equalizer microphone. the microphone isnt very long, and getting it to the right place(when EQing rear speakers) is someimtes not possible.

Hawk, the microphone is at the listening position, not at the speakers.

Hi,
The EQ mic that I got with my RXV1400 has a cord that is approx. 18-20 feet long.
One other difference between the Yamaha 3300 and the new 1400/2400 is 'THX Select' label on the newer models. That impresses some folks. And many others (me included) just dont care about it.
Another new feature on 2400 is the up-conversion of composite and S-Video sources to Component.
And the 2400 wont break your back at 34 lbs. The 3300 weighs 48 lbs.
Here are 2 Comparison charts...

For a receiver with automatic room and speaker equalization, which in my view is a major advantage, the 2400 is a good buy. Don't worry about "better". I assume that you've read the Roger Russell article which has been frequently cited, so any lamp cord of adequate gauge for the length of run involved will go great and can't be improved on.

stf2 from HSU. Depends on your sub budget though. Could go with a better or worse model based on the $ you have available.
