Hello every body,
Between Yamaha and Denon,same price,same category.
What do you prefer?.Some people say that Yamaha is one of the best a/v receiver in this moment better than Onkyo,Harman Kardon,Denon,Marantz,etc. Is this real?
Thanks,
Jorge.

Hi,yamaha offers nothing in the 800.00 price range that can compete with the 3802,spend 1500.00 then maybe,imho.

Problem is there are many prices, many categories; and things changed with time. It's mostly useless to argue who makes the best receivers. If you have a certain budget in mind, then we can argue about which particular model is best.

Why would you want to waste your time? For $800.00 you could get a good integrated...for $800.00 you could get a used YBA Integre.

The Denon is generally considered to be the more "musical sounding" of the two and probably has a better power supply and amplifier section, but the Yamaha probably has better DSP circuitry.

I'd get the Denon.

The point of buying a receiver is for H/T. If the Yamaha has the best DSP processor then it is the best one to buy.

If Denon receivers are considered musical then it's a sad state of affairs in the audio world.

Receivers are feature boxes that should be used if at all for H/T. Yamaha has a solid build and a good reputation. I remember five or so years ago that they had the best processors and surround sound was quite good. Denon was a little less present in the upper frequency but they were also lifeless sounding.

If Yamaha STILL makes the best processors I'd take one of them. (only fo HT).

Don't think you could go wrong with either. Both are resonably well made and offer excellent performance for the money.

Yes people I agree with you.I had Denon and now I have Yamaha.In fact I like the sound of Yamaha over the Denon and the DSP is the best sistem to home cinema.Olso I had the oportunity to compare Denon vs Onkyo and Harman Kardon receivers around $1000. Finally I went with Yamaha.I only listened to it one time and found it the best of the all.All receiver were tasted with B&W spekers.
Thanks,
Jorge.
