Denon AVR-3801 7.1 Channels Receiver

Pros: Incredible features, excellent pure wattage, awesome value
Cons: Replaced with the 3802, which is a step down!

Dollar-for-watt, the Denon line is hard to argue with, especially in the mid range. Once you get to the beyond-2 grand range (otherwise know as stratospheric) B&K is clearly in its own little echelon...However under a grand, even Marantz can't compete....

Pros: Dolby Digital Matrix 6.1, 7.1 Channels, DTS ES, Denon Quality Sound
Cons: None

When I first heard of the Denon AVR-3801, I thought it would be another Denon receiver that would be very similar to the Denon AVR-2801. Well, I guess I was wrong. When I looked at the specifications of the Denon AVR-3801, I was amazed. I thought that...

Pros: Seven channels, great sound, and facilities.
Cons: Not many come to mind.

While many people these days are more comfortable with 5.1 channel formats, this Denon seems like a god send. But others alike are doing the same this year, offering 7 channels of amplification. It certainly seems promising, and why then, did I buy this...

Pros: High power, 7.1 channels, tons of inputs and outputs
Cons: Angry Neighbors

It took me about a month of research to finally decide to purchase the 3801, and it was well worth it. The 3801 is a great receiver and has served me well since I got it in February 2001. I purchased my receiver online for $850, including shipping. ...

Pros: Future Ready Dolby Digital 6.1, Multi-Source, Multi-Room output
Cons: Semi-steep price. Tends to get fairly warm unless in open space.

This receiver is a monster, it weighs in at a hefty 37 pounds. Every ounce of this receiver is great. I'm not exactly sure why the picture of this receiver is gold, the receiver is black in real life, perhaps it was a special edition. Also, the...

Pros: All AV gadgets available Good sound for music
Cons: Only one digital output

Looking for a AV Receiver? Want to have 6.1/7.1 DTS/DD? Want the receiver to have great music reproduction? And you don't want to pay much? Looks no further, Denon AVR3801 is the choice. I like the AVR3801 more than Yamaha AX2 simply because it can...

Pros: High quality, plenty of power, tons of features.
Cons: User manual is poorly written.

Ordered on-line for best price. Easy to set-up and use. Some of the advanced features are hard to use because of the poorly written user's manual. Very heavy unit. Has powered side AND rear surround channels. Some manufacturers are making units with...
