HK 435 or Denon 2106

I have been looking at getting either of these refurbished. I am not running any video through them. The only thing that is pushing me to the hk is the warranty with the refurbished. I also like the EQ set up. A local retailer recommended the 2106 though. Please let me know your thoughts.

If I am not mistaken, the 2106 does not have Audyssey, which IMO is the only reason to pick Denon over similar priced products from HK or Marantz.

What is Audyssey?


I think the HK has better zone 2 capabilities - separate remote control, ability to have a different zone 2 source without using an external amp. It also allows cross-over to be set for each channel, not just one setting for the entire system (as the Denon does).


OTOH, 2106 is XM-ready, if that's helpful for you. Also, I don't think the HK does any video signal conversion to component, if you're looking to use it as a video source consolidator.
