It's something they've done with a few receivers for BF. Drop it low and then add $100 once a certain number of units are sold. Good marketing. Even this price is solid.
Guys here will be pissed if this goes down back to 899 tomorrow morning 😂

If I don't have and never will have a 9 channel setup is there any significant benefit to this over the x2800 at half the cost when on sale?

Yes. Audyssey XT32 room EQ. Makes a night a day improvement in audio.

I would mostly agree, most of the benefits people mention aren't really audible benefits.

As far as resale the same worth debate made now would apply in 3-4 years also.

The 4800 is definitely worth the extra $300 if you won't be adding external power & your speakers prefer/ need extra power to perform at optimal levels for you.
For reference that extra power (125w vs 105w) is 0.7db additional audio volume.

You'll only need to wait until 2025 for it to be a $1000 like this X3800 that came out in 2022
Word is that update won't come until 2025 so you will be waiting even longer for these lower prices.

I hope they don't include.
It would raise the price to help pay for everyone else's license!

If I want it I would like to pay for it myself.

I had planned on adding external amplification for LRC if needed. I've never bought a separate standalone amp, but logically I'd expect those to last a long time and never become obsolete like an AVR. I'm not sure that I will need one, though. My speakers have a 91dB sensitivity and I currently never set my current 9 year old receiver higher than -15dB.

For double the price highly unlikely it's "significant".
As much as I agree XT32 is a good RC, the 2800 is one step down XT which should suffice in your situation imo.

Yes that's what it is on "paper".
In practical use it's not volume it's quality of power.
If we went based just on paper, more power or external amps wouldn't be worth it.

As mentioned with "power hungry" speakers that extra robust clean power can be a benefit.
Whether you need it or how much a benefit it is is a personal choice.

FYI if you planned on getting Dirac, today is the last day for their 30% off.

I remember the good old days when you could buy 3000 series for 499 and 4000 series for 800 at Frys...those were the days

That's exactly the response I was going for. Go from something quantitative to subjective to justify your point.

Certainly you would agree, that, in most cases, the distortion would scale proportionally with the power level correct?

Therefore you'd have a perceived difference of 0.7db for a given "clean" listening experience. Now if you have "data" that shows the x4800h, at a given power level suffers less THD then you likely have a good point. Unless you don't believe in THD.

Sorry man, "on paper" is how physics and science are determined.

Of course it's always personal choice what people buy. But, many people make decisions based upon data, so for those readers, this information might be useful. People are also welcome to use your expert recommendation.

How does this compare to the Yamaha RX-2070 that I currently have? I'm no audiophile but it looks like it would just be an incremental improvement. I mostly use it to watch movies (I have ATMOS setup) with a projector. Would it be worth laying out $1000+? https://usa.yamaha.com/products/a...specs.html

Yeah, that is a significant advantage of having external amps, makes power difference on a receiver, irrelevant and never becoming obsolete

In your situation the 3800 makes complete sense.
Those on-paper benefits of the 4800 aren't really an audible benefit.

Yep, I bought my Denon AVR-X4500H from Frys for $800 and still rocking it today.

One thing about Frys that I seem to recall was that they didn't actually advertise the Denon AVR by the name and the model number. If I recall correctly they worded it as a popular national brand or something and then gave the specs, which would reveal what model it actually was.

When I seen the X4800H on sale I thought about upgrading and was tempted. But unless I'm missing something I just don't see much of a reason to at this time.

Good price on the 3800h. I've been arguing with myself to go with either 3800h or the 4800h (1299$ sale on adorama). Decided on the 4800 as I didn't want to leave any speculation /buyers remorse. I'm coming from a denon 960h.
