Best Receiver under $1200 (new)?

denon 3801. it is ok for music (grainy on the highend) but good on home theater. it is 7 channel 115watts. gives you the ability to handle some of the newer formats. about a thou new....800 used. i have not listened to arcam or onkyo though!

good luck

Satish: Nakamichi av-10, Arcam avr 100, Denon avr-3801, Nad t771. Good Luck and have fun listening and looking.

Nakamichi AV-10, I THINK!

I strongly recommend the Sherwood Newcastle 9080 separates instead of a receiver. You can find this combo for under $1200 if you watch Audiogon or other sites.E-mail me if you need more info.
