    The Pioneer appears to be a 2003 model, where the Denon has the latest technologies, as previously described. My vote would be for the Denon, of course YMMV.

    Hope this helps,

    Azeke

      The denon would be more of a warm sound than the pioneer if your using brighter speakers,neutral type aural experiance.

      Not sure of the kind of sound between the standerd pioneer recievers vs elite line,if there is a warmer vs brite,etc.

          In South Africa the Denon's are much more expensive than the Pioneers. Say compairing the 3805 to the Ax5ai. In our market I would go for pioneer, and the next step would be Rotel etc.

              Denon 3805 vs pioneer vsx-2014i on B&W 600 speakers: Denon was harsh sounding and too bright for my taste. Pioneer was warm and more in control, especially the bass compartement. But I don't know about todays models.
