Receiver Opinions

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I am looking at the Denon AVR-2805 or 3805 as well as the Rotel RSX-1067.

I like the calibration microphone that comes with the 2805; it's extra on
the more expensive 3805. The 3805 also has a strange remote. I am using a
Universal MX-500 to control everything, so that may be a secondary concern.

The Rotel is more than 2x the cost with specifications that seem to exactly
match the Denon 2805. Is there a rationale for spending the extra money for
the Rotel?

Thanks for your help.

Disregard comment on the Rotel, the pic I was looking at was wrong.
Apologies.
