Hi all!
I'm a current owner of a Denon 3803 and it looks like I've got the bug that going around-- I'm planning on upgrading to a 1055. I was hoping to get an idea what kind of deals people were getting. I was able to get $350 off the list for the Denon but I'm sure that Rotel discounts won't be anywhere near that steep. I'd just like a guideline- If it helps I'm in the Philly/ Trenton area. THANKS.
The 3803 is a good receiver(imho better then most of the sub 1K units out there) with an AMAZING set of features...that just fell short on music. I kept convincing myself that I would get used to it- but that never happened. I even picked up a Rotel 993 and used the 3803 as a pre- but that veil on the music was still there. Don't get me wrong- the music is clean, warm, with hints of being dynamic, but the soundstage is compressed and the overall sound is not open and breathtaking as it should be. Movies are good though. But once you know what you're missing...
Thanks for the help
