DENON AVR-X3800H refurb is going for $999 + Dirac SW & HW price
PIONEER Elite VSX-LX505 refurb is going for $749 which includes Dirac
I've a 4k Epson LS11000, Nvidia Shield Pro, and an Emotiva Amp for all 5 channels. I was wondering if there's a reason at all to go for the expensive 3800 which might be almost twice the price of LX505 after including the Dirac Full bandwidth price. Please let me know your thoughts. I currently have a Denon 3200 which died on my after 8 years.
I'm looking for general longevity, AV quality, recent tech, Dirac, and hopefully a single remote (nvidia) to turn on/off, change volume.
