2807 Faroudja FLI-2310
2308 Faroudja FLI-2310

not sure what exactly the sony uses

2807
has
110 watts
All Channels Rated @ 0.05 THD
Audyssey MultEqxt Room Eq. with up to eight position setup
AL24+ on Front L&R
DSP Effect Modes =10


2307
has
100 watts
All Channels Rated @ 0.08 THD
DSP Effect Modes = 7

2807 has a few more inputs of just about every type as well

2308 will not be out for a while, current is 2307, that is an excellent reciever imho, but 2807 is even a bit more better, bigger sound more head room.

Just hooked up my 2808CI!!!! WOW Baby what an amp. Actually inproved my picture on my Sharp 46".

All Denon HDMI 1.3 receivers have a built in HDMI signal booster. So handshaking is greatly reduced.

One aspect that has the 2808, 3808, and 4308 is the fact you can now use Audessey Pro on these receivers. You have to purchase a kit and key code for each receiver, but this really helps to dial in Audessey. It's about another $500, but Audessey Pro stand alone is over $2000. I believe, well worth it. The other stuff, HDMI 1.3 and DTS Tru HD and Dolby are just bonus add ons.

Some info correction for this thread.

Only the AVR-3808CI ,AVR-4308CI and AVR-5805CI Receivers are Audyssey MultEQ Pro calibration installer ready.
Also you must get an Audyssey installer to do the setup for you, Audyssey does not sell there installer kit or keys to the general public.
Last but not least, the Audyssey Pro stand alone sells for $2500

Ray,

Thank you for the correction! I was under the impression that all of Denon ci receivers were capable of this feature. But alas, I guess the 2808 fell into the cracks. Thanks again!
