Rx-v3800 ?

[ParadigmDawg]

Ok guys, I just called my dealer on the RX-1900 and he said I should really consider the 3800. He will give me this for less than the 1900 and all I would be missing is the 8 point YPAO and the Sat music crap.

What would you do?

Its your birthday Greg go ahead splurge..... plus if you won't miss these functions then get it ......

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Is it splurging if it is last years model? Am I missing anything else?

No its not splurging to buy last years model. How ever the 3800 is a great unit and I myself don't care about last years or current models. My speakers are older and I love them. My AVR is older and I love thats too.I don't or can't justify buying the newest model every time I want to upgrade.If that was the case I would have to be a millionaire just to feed my audio jones......

Tough call. One's a newer model, but the other one is a "higher up" model. Hmmm.

Either way, we're going to make fun of you and make you wish that you got the other one.

Yall (Texas word) are not helping at all.

What is last years Denon that would be comparable, so I can get even more confused?

 

[jamie2112]

Denon avr-5803

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Is there something out to replace it? What did it go for?

Denon avr-5803

 

[jamie2112]

Yeah I am not sure about that right now uuhhmm yeah I am gonna have to get back to you on that( Bill Lumburg) office space....


I will check it out though.....

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I can't get a great deal unless something has replaced it.

I love Office Space.

Crap, I dont know what to get. I have to be there by 5pm. If I wait and think it through, I will end up with nothing.

Here is a link at crutchfield that has a compare link

I would go with the 3800. There is really not much difference.

Now go you only have less than 2 hours.

What number are you on?

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I compared on the Yamaha site. I like the 8 point YPAO but maybe I am putting too much into that.

So you would get the 3800 if you could get it for 1200 bucks?

The way you have talked before I would not think autocorrection would be a big thing for you. You have your trusty SPL meter and I think this one has the adjustable crossovers you were worried about then I think it is the better deal. The 3800 also has the USB ports on the front and back while the 1900 does not have any.

If I was to choose between the two I would go for the 3800.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

You are correct.

DONE.

I will be back in a few with it in hand!

[ParadigmDawg]

Nah....I went the conservative route.

 

[jamie2112]
