Hi all just wondering if anyone owns one of these AV's? My brother-in-law was quoted 1750 CDN which of course is a rip off since they are selling for 1100 US. They would be powering a Paradigm surround set up Monitor11's/Mini Monitor/cc390/dipole adp390/and DSP3200 sub. I would like some feedback on it if at all possible. Is this the same as the 2309?3808?3809? I have about 8000 to spend for him on his music/movie experience. His TV would be this Samsung 58” Plasma PN58B850 that's about 4000 itself,would be open to others if there are better ones. I know this part doesn't belong here (TV) but maybe one of you computer savvy people can send me a link to reviews on this model?
Thank you in advance

Ok well the lack of response means I'll direct him to a different company thanks. I'll probably send him to the higher end Onkyo's or Integra with the better power supplies. Maybe the Pioneers not sure how they stack up against the Onkyo/Integra for real power numbers.

I recently picked up the AVR-4310. I am completely happy with the unit. It has met or surpassed every expectation I had for it. I really don't have one bad thing to say.

The 990/3310 you reference is the replacement for last years 989/2809. I'm sure it would do a very respectable job of powering those speakers, but it does have preouts in case he wanted to add an external amp later . You won't find many reviews yet as these are the just released 2010 model AVR's from Denon. The 3310's predaccessor reviewed very well though, and the 3310 should be as good or better considering the feature set.

Also, Denon stacks up very well with their power supplies, as well as reported power numbers.

here is a review for the 989:

Denon's are great AVR's I just sold my 3808ci and I really liked it. For less than the 3310 you can get the new Onkyo 807. The Denon has better video upscaling but your Sammie Plasma shouldn't require more video upscaling. The Onk will give you 135 watts per channel, Audyssey DSX, better DAC's and more importantly network connection, besides allowing you to stream from your PC's and the tens of thousands of IP radio stations the 807 will allow you to do firmware upgrades over the internet and that was very helpful with my 3808ci and the main reason I got rid of my Onkyo 805.
Bottom line you get alot more AVR for your money.... I used microsoft's bing.com and ended paying less than $750 US shipped. That would leave more money for better Bl-ray player ( I love my OPPO ) and the Speakers will enjoy that 33% increase in power.....
I've owned both Denon and Onkyo and they are both good boxes but more fearures and less $$$ I'm going with Onkyo (might switch back for the new 4810ci though)......
