I came from a 3500 and liked it a lot. This has a better UI, including a 4K OSD and much better HEOS screen. I don't really get the complaints about the look of the volume meter. It's simple and functional and looks better than the one on my 3500.
I run a 5.1.2 setup in a 16 x 20 room with Focal speakers and an SVS sub, and I have more than enough power to make listening uncomfortable.

"It is with much sadness that I cannot recommend the Denon AVR-X3800H."
Any comments from the more savvy members here?
The quality difference is only detectable at the high-end using spectrum analyzers and audiophile ears. Your average consumer won't know the difference. That said, I personally wouldn't have purchased at MSRP, but anything below $1000 is a buy. I'm just a shadetree home theater guy on the internet though, so take my words with a grain of salt.
I would start by figuring out what is the issue with the Polk's.
Then go listen to what you can and see if you find something you prefer.
If it's more than $1k just start with the LCR's, you can always use the Polk's as surrounds.
Save and buy the rest later.
Would the X3800H be a significant downgrade from a quality, power delivery standpoint?
I also own a 4300 which I use in a separate area, but primarily do HT w/4311ci.
I believe the 4311ci had a 140W output, the X3800H is 105W.
Wondering if I should get this one or a future X4800H (if it ever goes on sale, yikes too costly)?
Assuming Adorama is an authorized Denon dealer, with a full 3-yr warranty.
And finally, how does this X3800H compare with the X4700H ... believe that was a few years older unit?

Does the 3800 have enough power to get you there, depends on many factors like your speakers and your preferred listening level.
This just replaced my 4400 and my LCR are 6ohm/89dB.
For me this had no problem at moderate levels, beyond that it lost steam pretty quickly.
Irrelevant for me since I use my AVR as a pre-pro.
If power is a main concern and you don't use an external amp, the 4700 can be a good option.
There are a few features/options you lose out on but if you don't need them not a problem.
Here is a comparison, should help:

Assuming this deal comes back I am struggling to decide between the 3800 vs the 4800. I intend to go with a 5.1.4 setup initially as I already have the height speakers installed and don't really have room for rear point surround as my wife doesn't want space between the couch and the wall (I tried its not worth dying on that hill).
The room is 14'6" deep by 18' wide with the Tv and front speakers roughly 13' from the couch. I am hoping the receiver can last 4-6 years in terms of specs and would expect at least 7-10 years in terms of reliability.
Primary Use: Home Theater, movies/shows then sports. Do not game.
Given these parameters is it worth going for the 4800 (or another make and model) and why?
So far the advantages of the 4800 I have found are:
-Different DAC chip
-Made in Japan vs made in China (3800)
-higher watts per channel
based on that I am not sure if it is worth the upgrade.
