Montigue231 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 im using my KLF 20s as mains c7 center and ksf rears...I dont plan on using anything else in the future as im satisfied with 5.1.(50/50 music/movies)... i just wonder if the denon 4800 THX would be a better choice because it was 2500 receiver in its day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoz01 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The 4800 will have a better amp section and most likely better DACs, but the 3805 will have more bells and whistles that were not available on the 4800. Are you running video through the reciever? The 4800 has only 2 component video inputs and I'm not sure that they are wideband. Edit: Also, MSRP on the 4800 was $1999, not $2500. Realistically I'd do the 3805 as it's 5 years newer and a very solid reciever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwock5 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 i used to have the 3805, and upgraded to the 4308. if you don't need hdmi or video scaling, or the newer technologies, the 3805 is very capable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montigue231 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 I decided to go for the 3805 or 06 because of the DTS ES EX and neo6 sound fields..the 4800 does have a better amp but it only plays in thx and dts and DD. too outdated i suppose.
