    Which receiver

    I have a limited budget $300 or so. There are 3 receivers I'm looking at. I was looking at either buying either a New Denon 486 ($300) or a refurb Denon 686 ($300) and the last receiver I'm looking at is a used Denon 3200 ($150). I don't know much about receivers but I have been told Denon makes great HT receivers so that is why I'm looking at Denon. The 3200 is older but brand new retailed for over $1200 so it is probably the best deal our of the 3 at $150. is there any difference between the 486 and the 686? Looking at the specs I could not tell a difference. the 3200 has a little more power i think 85 watts vs 75 watts per channel.

    Your comments and susgestion will be greatly appriciated

    Please let me know what you think,
    Tommy

      Tdale4,

      I would go for the Denon 3200, just my humble opinion.

      Here is a review, hope this helps:

      Denon AVR-3200

      Peace and blessings,

        Advice on CDT-300?
        by Hberg
        I realize there are bits of information spread throughout the Classe' Forum, but I want to get some advice on the CDT-300?

        Currently, I have SSP-800 but I am using the Denon CDRW-1500 & Denon DVD-2900 for my music and movies. If I was to replace to two Denon components, I am curious...

        Introduction and question regarding SSP-300 issue
        by sargebuckey
        Hi All,
        I would like to introduce myself as the new owner of the Classe system. I owned CA-3200 and CA-2100 amps for about a year connected to Denon 5803 as a pre-amp. Recently, I decided to purchase used SSP-300 (due to the budget constraints) on Audiogon.
        Processor arrived in a great...

        Hello all!

        I wasn't sure where to put this within the forum but since it is somewhat of a DIY project I thought I'd post it in the Mission Possible DIY area, if this is the incorrect area mods please move it to the correct area.

        I never intended to build my own amplifier...

        by stewfoo
        I just came across a smokin' deal on a Classe ssp-300 processor and 3200 amp ... all brand new. Will the Rotel 1072 cd serve as a decent cd transport while processing throught the classe? Or should I use the 1072 dacs?

        Thanks\
