Denon avr891 or avr1912

[flo]

I have a pair of Heresey 2's and need a receiver . I can get the 891 for 300$ or the 1912 for 400$. Which one would you choose? I dont need the ethernet connect. Also do Denon receivers sound good with the hereseys, or should I go with something different?

thanks

I would say the 891. If it's just for 2 channel audio though, I think there are better options out there.

You could get a reconditioned AVR-1912 at Accessories4less for $319.99.

Im leaning towards the 819. I dont really need 7.1 . Would I be better off buying a Yamaha 5.1 in that price range?

The 1712 has a better version of Audyssey (MultEQ XT) than the 1912. If you don't need the 1912 bells and whistles, get the 1712. Check Denon's website for authorized sellers.

You can get a refurb (1 year warranty) 1712 for $230 at: http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/DENAVR1712/DENON-AVR-1712-7.1-A/V-Surround-Receiver/1.html

New for $400 or open box for $300 at: http://www.electronics-expo.com/salesperson/result/?q=denon+1712

The Denon owners thread at AVS Forum has good info in the first few posts for comparing models: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1334369
