I NEED ADVICE !!! which receiver should i buy ?GuyDrory
Feb 23, 2002 10:11 AM
Hi guyz ,
i'm looking for a receiver to my new HT system - lots of review have been read and the final runner ups are :

Philips FR-975/FR-980 , Marantz SR-4000 , Denon AVR-1601 and Nakamichi AV-8 as the best receivers i saw for my receiver budget- which one would you recommend ? i know that the nakamichi and marantz are the best for casual music listening as well (not focused on home theatre) but they lack any support for DTS (is DTS that important anyway ? what do u think ?)

i got the feeling the nakamachi is the best quality product of the bunch ? what do u think of it ?

in addition - the speakers i chose are the JBL SCS-135/SCS-138 package (5 sats and 100W active sub) - i read in here nothing but good on them , and people in hi-fi shops told me that they are "nice" - do u think they are a good match for the nakamichi ? for any other receiver ?

Here are my 2 cents...

I have the Denon AVR-2802 and I love it. I would recommend any Denon receiver, they sound just like the theater while watching a movie. They also have Pro-Logic II which is pretty cool. I would go for the 1802 rather than the 1601. Same features as the 2802 except no component switching and less power output. Denon receivers also use high-current amplification which makes a huge difference in sound. Overall Denon is high quality product.

read the review cheap home theatre on 1802, the amp is not as good as the outlaw and that is 80 watts to 65 go figure.
