Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Ok, narrowed down to 4...What say You???

Ubid Receivers
These change regularly.

"After reading until my eyes hurt and wringing my hands?"

Just curious, what factors helped you decide on those 4?

Price range, reviews, and people on this boards advice. I am still open to suggestions. I would rather spend more time researching that being stuck with something Im not happy with.

In that case I'd go for the H/K for two reasons.
1. More crossover features.
2.Their new auto room EQ.

I started with a H/K 130 and then went to the Denon 2805. I think the 130 was rated at 50WPC and the 2805 is rated at 100WPC. I noticed little if any difference. If I could it to do over, I'd go with a H/K635.

All 4 are excellent receivers but if you were to threaten me with with either narrowing down that list or being forced to watch a reality show I would choose between the Marantz 8400 and the HK 635. Just my $.02

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I really appreciate your help.

Keep them coming.

Doesnt Harmon INTL. own Marantz?

I thought I read that Marantz and Denon were owned by the same parent company...could be wrong

Yea you're probably right, I just looked up Harmon Intl. and this is what I found.


"The companies which make up Harman International are legendary. They include Harman Kardon, JBL, Infinity, Mark Levinson, Becker, AKG, Soundcraft, Lexicon and many others."

D&M are owned by same Japanese company.
