Is there any reason not to buy this receiver? other than no pre-outs. Its either 2309 or the onkyo 706. ive done a lot of research and im leaning on buying the 2309. ive listened to both and they both sound good to me. IM STUCK!

anybody?

There's really no reason not to buy the 2309ci. I have the Denon 889 (the slightly cheaper but virtually identical brother of the 2309ci) and it's fantastic!

i love my 2309...if i had to do it over i might save a few bucks more and go to the 2809 to get more power...but i am very happy with the denon Ci line.

does the 2809 have pre-outs?

I just bought one back in Dec and BOY it is fantastic . Audio has never sounded so good. I was watching Star Wars The Clone Wars on ToonHD last Friday and the sound was so rich and filing and just sounded better then any other Denon receiver I'v owned.

Sorry to ask noob questions, but what are the "pre" outs for?

im a noob too but i guess there for adding a external amp for more power

 

[blackstang]

i have a small living room and i will be using the receiver for movies and sports. im pretty sure this will have enough power i wont need a external amp. Anybody agree? and any opinions on the 2309 vs. the onkyo 706
