malechi Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 $450 is the price limit. New or Factory Reconditioned? I'm thinking of the AVR-1082 but is there something else out there I should consider? What about the AVR-1705 or AVR-1905??? listening area is 13.5x24x7.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1905 offers enough amps for a 7.1 application if you want it, and if not, you can always use the back surround amps to power a Zone 2 set of speakers (that's the only thing I really miss in my 1705). Otherwise, the two you've mentioned are virtually identical. I think the 1082 is a bit more powerful but has fewer video inputs (component) and no PL2x decoding. I've bought two factory reconditioned Denon products and never had an issue, but you need to judge whether the added warranty is worth the extra $$ (though at this low a price point, I'd probably opt for new). Just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malechi Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 I don't think power is an issue because my Onkyo 575X is 70W per channel and I listen to it at -12db for movies. The AVR-1905 has Pro Logic IIx and High-grade Up Conversion which are two new features. Are they worth it to buy a newer unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malechi Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 I'm now looking at the new Denon AVR-2105. Any comments on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
