In Reply to: Help?? Denon DVD-2800/DVM-4800 & AVR-3802 posted by fxstbguy on November 15, 2001 at 18:00:05:
I have A Denon 5800. I had planned to get a 4802, but found the 5800 at a great price.The 3802 has 105W X 6. And a lot of good stuff. List $1199
The 2802 has 90W X 6. No discrete second audio out. No on screen display. No 32 bit SPARC DSP. List 799.
So to me the only down side to the 2802 is a little less power and no on screen display. I could live without that for $400.
The DVM 4800 is a five disc changer and decodes surround. It also has more video outputs. List 1199.
To me the DVM 2800 offers everything else. (Progressive Scan, plays CD-Rs, CD-RWs, etc). List 799.
If you are going to put your money in one or the other. My opinion is put your money in the receiver. It is the heart of your system. I do not want and I would not buy a DVD that decoded surround. That is a function of the receiver. DVDs comprise only a small portion of most people's TV viewing. Your receiver can be used to decode comercial TV, premium cable movies (many are Dobly Digital), satellite broadcast, and VCR tapes. Not to mention CDs.
Or another option. Compared to electronics today, speakers are very crude. Your system will only sound as good as your speakers. I think I would buy the AVR 2802 and the DVM 2800 and put the money saved in speakers.
Klipsch are very efficient speakers. The RF3s don't require a lot of amp but they lack real low bass. This is true of the RC3 and the RB5s. Action movies today really have a lot of low freq sounds even in the surrounds. As I said above I would buy the AVR 2802 and the DVM 2800 and put the money saved in a sub woofer. I would suggest the Klipsh KSW-15 (750) or the KSW-12 (499).
A sub woofer would do two things for your system. It would lower the power requirements (so the 2802 would do very nicely) and improve the sound of your other speakers by reducing speaker movement necessary to produce very low freqwuencies.
Denon and Klipsh are both excelent equipment. Which ever way you go you will like your system.
