    Denon Confusion

    Hey guys,

    I was told by my local Denon Dealer that the Denon 2805 is exactly the same as the Denon 985. With one slight differnce! $800 for the 2805 & $625 for the 985. The local dealer told me that the reason why this exists is so that denon can offer the same receiver @ a lower price without pissing off it's delaers like Tweeter etc......

    I spoke with another local dealer who quoted me $800 for the 2805 and he told me he could not sell me the 985. He did say that after looking at the specs they appear to be exactly the same.

    If anyone can explain this I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Brian

      Sounds like you might be on to something there. From a quick Google search It seems the 985 is just a lower priced version of the 2805 that Denon offers to department stores etc. You might want to do some investigating to confirm there are no other differences.

              Hello-

              Am new to this forum. Many thanks to Andrew Pratt who was able to register me when my repeated feeble attempts had failed. I recently acquired some equipment and am hoping the Rotel mavens that frequent this forum could give me some advise. Due to spousal constraints I went to...

              Paradigm Monitor's (esp. 5's) extended break-in needed?
              by GregoriusM
              Hi!

              I recently moved from a Denon 3300 with Titan mains, CDP-170 center and ADP-170 surrounds to a Denon 2805 and changed out the Titans with a new pair of Monitor 5's.

              The Denon 2805 was all I was willing to pay for at the time (two weeks ago). I found the sound not very...

              Denon AVR 2805 Optical Connect
              by Paul D.
              I just purchased the 2805 and am using it with a Samsung 841 DVD player and a Sony 50" rear projection LCD. My speakers are an assortment (Celestion, Martin Logan, B&W).

              I can only lay claim to average intelligence, but the manual for the 2805 appears to have been written...

              Does the Denon AVR-2805 hit the mark?
              by Anton
              After a loooong hard look at the current A/V Recievers avalible for a resonable amount of money vs. performance ratio, I've set my sights on the Denon AVR-2805. It will replace my hard working but older Yamaha R-V905 (or RXV-595).

              Does anyone have a take on the over all performance of...
