Im wondering though will I be better off with the 40.3 having the multieq little more power and the option to hookup an amp. I mean spend the more now and have a receiver that I wont have to change for years to come while growing my system?

I see John. Even with a difference of the extra year warrenty? Ill check into the 709 compared to the 40.3 I would like the best bang for the buck thats for sure.

If trouble develops, it's more likely to develop early. The extra year warranty is unlikely to be called into effect.

Fair enough. John thank you and everyone else. I was looking tunnel vision before getting something for now. Not thinking of the long run.

Looks like over the net the 709 is between 800-1000 canadian. Would be a difference of 200-400 dollars between the 709 and the 40.3

I would assume my local dealer will be around the same price so thats a saving im willing to take. Features are close to indentical.

OKay okay now what do we think.Ive got a price for a denon avr3311 amd I think it seems to be a really great receiver. $1000 for the receiver what do you guys think. Has all the options on the 40.3 and is cheaper. Let me know.

Also what do u guys think about a $55 charge to have warrenty changed from 3 years to 5 years?

Denon's seem to be pretty reliable units. The only complaint I ever hear about them is that their manuals are horribly written. I concur.

My personal thought on extended warranties is that if I had taken the ext. warranty every time it was offered to me on something, I would likely be able to have replaced any single item a couple times over with all that cash. I'd prefer to keep all that money in my pocket for my own uses until the day comes I need it.

Yah, if it were me I'd stick with the 3 yr warranty and leave it at that, I'd expect if anything goes wrong it would happen within 3 yrs. I agree with Andrew about the Denon Manuals...they need a manual to understand the manual.

Dustin, the 3311 certainly is an excellent receiver and is quite comparable overall to the 709. Either would appear to be a better buy than the Integra and your decision could well be based on which one was available to you at the lower price. As indicated previously, forget an extended warranty.

Price didn't come into play both stayed in the revised budget that i informded my better half of.

Checking things out I felt that comparing the two the denon was a better receiver (atleast from paper and forums) then the 709.

I could get both local for the same price or the 709 off the net for $100 cheaper.
