<font color='#000000'>If I could get a new Denon 5803 for $2,200 I would snatch it up in a second! Those are fantastic AVR's. The dealer price on those is $4,300.
Are you buying from a Denon Dealer or someone else? Be careful, Denon will not honor the warrantee unless you buy from a authorized dealer.
I have the 4802R and have been thoroughly impressed with it’s sound quality. This is especially so in pure direct mode for music. There’s a lot more depth and dynamics to the music in comparison to my old 3803. The surround sound is equally outstanding as well. A very impressive receiver.
The 5803 is the grand poobah of Denon AVR's. Ask Gene what he thinks about the 5803 (he's reviewing one now).</font>
