Onkyo TX NR3007

It is very simple. The Denon has a more warm sound. And the Onkyo has a better focus compared to Denon. Wenn you want to ad an poweramp which can give a deep stage as well. Onkyo is the best option. Because it can give a deep stage as well. Tests I did with Denon with an amp what can give a deep stage the stage still will be flat. And that is why Denon is a 2 dimensional brand. For me it is this simple. Like 1 and 1 is 2.

I would gauge your price against new refurbished prices. Accessories4less is currently selling the 3007 for $899.99 with mfr's 1 year warranty.

If you have been happy with your Onkyo TX-NR3007, and like it's interface, check out the Onkyo TX-NR717. It has a lower profile than the 3007.

Otherwise, I think the Denon AVR-3113CI is a good choice.
