home theater recommendations
 

I'm looking for a replacement for my Kenwood VR-3090 since I lost the remote and buying a new touchscreen remote will cost about the same that I paid for the receiver. I already have a good subwoofer and 6 good speakers. Can anyone recommend a good mid price level receiver to replace the one I have or perhaps a remote that can handle the model I already have that isn't ridiculously expensive?

I have a Denon for around $1500, works like a charm. Whats your price range?

which Denon receiver do you have? Many years ago I bought a Denon AVR-3802 for $1800 and I still have it to this day. Bought it in I think 2001.

I have an ONKYO setup, but I'm not an expert and I'm too lazy to go see what the model is

Denon AVR-2809, but not sure if they even sell it still, these things are replaced with newer models very quick.

I know the one I have is no longer available and the avr-2809 doesn't seem to be either.. http://www.denon.com

Denon looks very good...

Denon rocks.. The Denon receiver that I have is almost 10 years old and it still works like brand new and produces great sound.

I thought so...mine is a 2008 model.

I've had two Denon receivers go bad on me in less than a year. I won't buy any more. I know they're a very respected brand but... from personal experience, I won't buy another...

I opted for a higher end Yamaha which hasn't gone bad on me yet! I've got a set of Klipsch speakers as I really like them for the price/performance ratio. They are plenty enough for me. I love audio but I'm not an audiophile nut that drops $300 per cable and $20k per floor speaker :P

if you want killer sound for cheap check out harmon kardon avr 154 or 254... you will not be disappointed. and get a harmony remote.. and throw all your other remotes away :)

There surely are better and worse Denon receivers. Are you talking about their high-end products?

One mid range ($2,700 price tag) and one lower end (under $1k)...

Weird, never heard of anyone complaining about them.

i had one break within first 3 months.. got it replaced and it was perfect after that...

My Denon receiver has been great for four years now. I use it with a Klipsch speaker setup.
