Denon AVR 3803 vs. Yamaha RXV 1400


Denon is a good receiver for the $...(can be had around $650) .but looking at some great deals on the Yamaha which are a bit cheaper.

Yammie's have Dolby 2x, THX select, and autocalibration.

Denon is denon, though, and very musical.

Any thoughts? I'd use it 50% music, 50% home theater


(using NHT speakers - 1.5's, Sub2i, 1.4's as rear/surrounds).

I bought a Yamaha 1400 two weeks ago and I have no regrets. IMHO, Yamaha edges denon on this model both music and movies. Audition it both. Let your ears decide.
I've owned Denon and Yamaha, and I am more of a music listener. I am still using my Yamaha RX-V1000 and love it, i've just always preferred the Yamaha for music.
i wanna buy one.
which one ?
both r 6.1 with all the decoders of these days.
RDS etc..
both 75w RMS 6 channel

So, anyone out there can help decide

thanks
I'm bias b/c I have RXV1400 as pre/pro and Marantz 5-channel amp to drive it. HT is awesome and 2-channel music is wonderful while 7-channel stereo mode to host party throughout the house is excellent. For comparison in this price range.
Just bought my Yamaha 1400 last month as X'mas gift to myself :-)

Wonderful is all I can say. The sound quality and features/functions are unreal for under $700 at local retail store.
