Looking at denon 2300w, however i'd prefer a yamaha, rxv x81 range.

I'd like 4k upscaling, second zone. Reliability, one hdmi out(2.2), 4-5 in.

There's a few 'open box' prices on richer sounds at around #350.

Onkyo are a possibility also.
 
I've had same dilemma and picking up a rx-v681 on Thurs.

I'm not sure there is much between them and Denon but missus is a fan of the Music cast so helps in that regard!
 
Gut feeling is the Yamaha will be better made... how much did you get yours for?

Did a bundle deal with a set of KEF E305's for £1,099. I've seen it listed at £449 in a number of places pre any negotiation.

My missus listens to a lot of music which I believe the Yamaha is better at and ive got a gut feel that the Yamaha will be a better pairing with the KEF'S (that was primary choice due to size of room and aesthetics)
 
yamaha 681 is now £399 at richer sounds if that helps :) denon seems to have more inputs and powers though
 
I know but I think the yamaha will last better in the long term, just a little more reliable!?
