Hey all,
I'm considering changing out my reliable AVR-3802 with something a little newer for hdmi and video upscaling. the local future shop has the avr-890 on sale for $799(reg 999) or last years 989 for $679. ( it was 1199 last year). I was trying to figure out pro/cons of either. the 989 only has 4 hdmi's and no PLIIz but has a little more power (negligable i would guess). the 890 has plIIz and i thin 5 hdmi in's but no pre-outs i think. For the price the 989 looks like a better deal. Or maybe just stick it out with the 3802
TV smansung lnt4661
front Paradigm reference studio 60 v2
center paradigm reference studio cc v2
rear paradigm reference studio adp v2
sub paradigm PW-2200
bell Expressvu 9242
xbox 360 elite hdmi
wii
pioneer dvd player with hdmi (can't remember model)
wdtv multimedia player
thanks for any advice
