OK,...I could have the Denon 3803 4 ohm specification mixed up (?)I had a look at the online website and couldn't see a picture of the back. The online manual showed 6 to 16 ohm rating with all channels driven. They do rate power at 4 ohms, even at 2 ohms for stereo sound. But they may do the same for the 1804 (I only looked at the picture of the back and what was stated there, not at the 1804 pdf manual).
Even if I'm not mistaken (and I'll presume I'm wrong until I find out something concrete), I still would agree with your basic point, i.e., for very many users the 2 receivers would be equally good. And this being the case many people would enjoy having the extra hundreds neatly tucked into the wallet (where they belong !). And if I am mistaken, the same point would apply, only more so.
If I have made a mistake on the specs, sorry.

Also, I checked around and the lowest price I could find on the 3803 was $999. If anyone can snag it for $700 from an authorized dealer, I couldn't argue with that at all.

> wallet (where they belong!)Very true... unfortunately most of my friends don't agree and MUST have the best even though their rooms don't allow for it (my friend has a 12' x 8' home theatre room with all of this high end equipment crammed into it to the point of suffocation. It's hurts to hold my tongue after trying to make the point, but to each his own.
The 3803 can be had for $698.06 from 6Ave.com. The website lists the unit at $999.00 - call them (877-684-2831) and ask for the Denon 3803 deal. It is brand new (not refurbished) from an authorized dealer for $698.00 + .06 for shipping.
...only because I bought a bunch of other gear at the same time including a 34" 16:9 Sony XBR. If you can get the 3803 alone for $700, thats an awesome deal! Also, I needed the upconvert to component video feature and the 3803 was the only game in town at a reasonable price.
