Both of those receivers are going to be close. I would give the nod to the Denon 3803 however for resolution of soundstage. I've heard both in different systems however. But I don't think you'd lose with either.
Good luck

Comparing the Denon 3803 with the Onkyo TX-SR800
Has anyone compared the Denon AVR 3803 with the Onkyo TX-SR 800? I am planning to purchase one and need advice. Which receiver is more likely to be able to handle a 4 Ohm load running a pair of Legacy Classics (Front), Studios (Rear), and a Silverscreen center channel all 4 Ohm speakers? I am looking for what receiver will be the most musicsl for recordings, as well as good in a home theater setting. Would I be better off looking into a Harmon Kardon AVR-8000? Any Advice would be helpful.
