Just thought I would start a link to see if anyone has really spent time with the lower lines of Yamaha, and or denon. I keep reading that the yammie 1500/2500 and the denon 2805/3805 are pretty great, but can anyone let me know just how much difference is between these units and the lower models like the 650/750 and 1905/2105? I just can't afford the higher end models and was wondering what peoples thoughts are on these models. Thanks for your input! Derek
Huge difference, if given a choice for one or the other I would definitely go with Denon. Yamaha's RX-V line is good, but the lower end stuff is lacking.
