tashoemaker Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I priced a Denon 882 for $299 compared to a Denon 3802 for $699. The dealer told me that the only real difference between the two is 10W per channel more and 6.1/7.1 capability. I plan on using this with the Klipsch System 6 Home Theater. Besides price, is there any reason not to go with the Denon 882?? Or should I put out the extra cash for the 3802?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch-daddy Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I looked at these two and if you want to crank up the movies and music better get the 3802. The thd is like 0.08% but the 882 is 0.8% big difference. The 882 will not handle the load as well as the 3802. Also you take a risk of having distortion with the 882 because of the thd. ------------------ Home Theater: Yamaha RX-V1000 Klipsch RF-3's Klipsch KSC-C1(LOOKING FOR A RC-3 OR RC-3II) Klipsch Subwoofer KSW-12 Television: TOSHIBA THEATER VIEW 50" DVD Player SONY S-360 CD Changer CDC 509 5 Disc Yamaha comming soon. monster cable interconnects/12 gauge speaker wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacevedo Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Dude- not sure why the salesman wouldn't push the higher priced item, but the 3802 is in a different class. The 882 is not even close. The 3802 usually sells for $999 ($1199 originally) at authorized dealers. So $699 is an incredible price. I think the 882 may be the equivalent of the 2802 or 1802, but the 3802 is where Denon starts their high end line up. The 3802 has DDSC, a much bigger power supply, better remote, and the full 7 channels built in. I have this beast, and I love it, and I even paid close to full MSRP for it. GET THE 3802!
