[Krafticus]

I will start out by saying I have searched all over the forums, and some threads were just ramblings on about this and that.

Here is what I want to know. I currently have a Denon-3805 receiver... (which I love).. but has no HDMI input. I also have a PS3 as my source for all that is Blu. I do have 7.1 sound (in-wall Klipsh speakers, model numbers unknown --- came with the house)

I would love to upgrade my receiver to say.. a Denon 3808ci (I don't want Yamaha or Onkyo, as I have space constraints in my media center). Would I benefit from this upgrade from a sound perspective? I know I still cannot bitstream the HD sound, but would there be signifigant improvement?

The HDMI inputs would simplify my life a little, as my TV has 2 currently, I have 3 I use (DTV HD DVR, PS3, and Denon DVD player). the 3808ci appeals to me as it has 4 HDMI, and I am thinking that when that Panny BD50 comes out, I might have to get that too.

Thanks for your input. Don't yell at me too much, as I said, I searched, and most of the threads were people saying that Yamaha, Pioneer, or Onkyo is better, or worse... if you know what I mean.

Thanks

Mark
