I have the 4400 and I feel it's decent for the price. Nowadays, alot of people think that denon and marantz share the same circuitry with minor tweaks but different faceplates. I am not sure if it's true or not but the marantz seems to command a premium for similar spec models. I think the 4400 is a good model and I am happy with the purchase, especially for the 800 or whatever they are going for nowadays. My setup is similar to yours and it replaced a older, higher end onkyo due to the need for 4k support. I feel the build quality and sound are better, not drastically so, but noticable enough, especially when effort is put into the calibration. If I were to do it again, I would demo it against a Yamaha, whose last year upper models can be had for similar sale pricing to the denons and seem to be receiving excellent reviews. I did not do this, but often wish I did. Good luck. Obviously ask yourself what features you really need and if at all possible try them before you buy.

Hello All, I am new to the forums but have been a long time Klipsch user and am excited to be apart of the group. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a date of manufacture on a pair of LaScalas I was looking to purchase. P/N 0900711410 LS BIR LAC # S/N 56515 W/O 11256 In addition, based on this date code, is there any recommended or necessary upgrades that would need to be done to them assuming nothing has been changed and they are in good condition? Thanks, Jack
