Denon AVR-991 Advanced 7.2 CH A/V Home Theater/Multimedia Multi-Source Receiver $668 with free shipping

Great price. This was $749 with the coupon code from the last deal.

How is this compare to Denon AVR2311CI for $570? Thanks

991 is a step up from 2311ci, which adds Audyssey MultEQ XT, Audyssey DST, network functionality.
991 pretty much == 3311ci, with only one hdmi out, no CI features (remote controls, 3 zones instead of 2, HD radio support).
overall if you think between 2311 and 991 I'd definitely take 991.
another story that I just ordered 3311 for 808, and I am thinking whether I should cancel that and get 991 instead... I prefer look of 3311, but don't really need any of CI features.

How's this compare with the Onkyo TX-SR808?

got a 3311ci for 808 about two weeks ago or else I would be all over this

$709 from Daxmart all day so take your time and think about it.

Yes, free shipping too.

One very important difference between the 2 is that the 911 does not have preouts to connect external amp.. That is very important if you plan on upgrading to an external amp assuming you have good enough speakers with a high enough power rating of course

thank you for answering this for me, any other good audessey xt preamps for under the 1000 mark?

Yeah that seems like a great price, OP. At a $60 difference it was a no brainer to go for the 3311. Now it's a real delima as to which one. For me personally it's a real debate for the 991 or the Onkyo nr3008. IDK. I think if the 991 had preouts I'd be all over this.

sound and vision review of the 991 http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/...v-receiver (excerpt - "Power was good, just bettering the unit's 125-watt spec in stereo mode, still maintaining good output into 4 ohms, and very nearly reaching the century mark (97 watts) with 5 channels driven simultaneously. When driving more than 5 channels, the Denon shut down protectively after more than a few seconds, but I managed to see around 80 watts repeatedly.")
