Ozz Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I just got one. I like it! It go's good with the Klipsch. Real lame remote and instuctions but other than that I can't think of any reason a you would'ent be happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjoe24 Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 Thanks for the info. How about the 2805? Is it better w/100W per ch.? It also gives the Auto EQ feature with the Mic. Anybody using 2805 with RF-7's BTW my budget is $800.00 Max!! (Out the door) Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yromj Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Denons are great units, no doubt about it. I will give my "you need to at least go listen to this" recommendation for the Marantz SR7400. I absolutely love mine. I paid $799 for mine, so you should be able to get it out of the door for $800 if you whine enough. Go check it out and see what you think.

yromj Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Almost forgot... The remote for the 7400 kicks a$$, BTW. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Perhaps look into Pioneer Elite or Integra also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Out the door) Joe ---------------- For that $800, you may be able to score yourself a 3803 instead of a 2803, if you are not dead-set on getting the lastest and greatest, since the 3803 has now been superseded by the 3805. The remote is alot better than on the 2803, plus you get more power and so forth. I'v used an even older 3802 on my RF-7s and it sounded fantastic. I still have it, but it is now acting as a pre/pro, although I do still have one pair of my surrounds hooked up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 My denon 1801 sounds pretty darn good with my Klipsch. That is one of cheapest models to. So I can only imagine how much better that model would be. Simplicity went out the window with the denon remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIbor Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I have the 2803 with the gun metal finsih. I love it Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjoe24 Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 Did not buy today................now looking at the 2805 due to the Ato EQ feature. Thoughts on this one? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmeishmael Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I am unsure of the value of the auto eq feature. I have the 3805 which did not come with the mic. From what I understand the 2805 comes with one. To save some greenbacks, go with the 2803 and set it up with your ears or an decible meter. I think you will enjoy the Denon vs others. It is just a mater of taste and expense. Wish I had the RF7s. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjoe24 Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 I bought the Denon 2805 w/Auto EQ. (e-bay) I'll post a review soon after I have broken it in good!! Thanks for all the advice! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
