Not necessarily a fan of any AVR yet.. I have never owned one, so I'm actually stuck right in the same place you are -- in shopping mode, evaluating options. The problem is that I have no ground to start from since everything will be...

I think I really want the Airplay feature, which automatically eliminates the Onkyo receivers, but of course everything becomes more attractive at a certain reduced cost. Thus, when the 818 went on sale for $649, I was really itching to...

Call around and you will be able to get the AVR-3313 for $850-ish... That definitely changes the competitive landscape vs the other receivers you've listed. To be fair, however, the prices for the others are going to be significantly...

Yeah, I've read nearly all 80 pages of the xx13 owner's thread... Definitely enlightening, especially the posts coming from many of the regular folks on the forum. Has anyone had any luck "buying" a 3312 and getting upgraded to 3313 due...

BeeMan, Thank you for the detailed reply. I visited a Magnolia store to listen to the Denon 3313 vs Marantz SR6007 and they both were quite pleasing. The Marantz did sound more "natural" to me, or rather the Denon sounded more...

Hello! I'm relatively new to this forum, although I've been reading it for years. I'm also relatively new to the world of receivers (I've never owned one). I'm in the market for a new AVR. The trouble I'm having is that there seems to...
