beday00 Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 I was wondering if anyone new of a place that still has the avr-3801 in stock and asking for around $700 (Online).... Or is the 3802 worth waiting for and the $200 more??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacevedo Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 In my opinion - wait for the 3802. I have the 3801 - and love it. The 3802 only improves on it. I am trading mine in to my dealer for a 3802. (Another reason for local dealers - they take better care of you - I bought my 3801 5 months ago). If I had bought this online, I wouldn't be able to trade it in now, and would have to sell it for a big loss. Some people say DPLII is not that big of a deal. It may not be, but what if it is to YOU? You will never know unless you hear it, and then you may get buyers remorse, all to save a few bucks. Most of my use with this is with watching Satellite, which should benefit a lot from DPLII. So if you aren't going to watch TV with your receiver, and only watch DVD's in DD 5.1, then it may not be worth it. Also, they refined the 3801 in the 3802. A bigger power supply, better shielding, updated DDSC - all worth it in my opinion. It was said that they were trying to get it closer in quality to the 5800 on the japanese web site. Good luck with the decision. ------------------ Thanks, Bryan "...

htxpert Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 Hi I agree The 3802 would be the logical choice It is starting to hit the dealers now Also the 4802 has a projected release date of Sept or October This will be a THX certified receiver with all the goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
