Unfortunately DENON has the LOUSIEST GUI compared to Pioneer (I think the best) and Onkyo.
Mahirap talaga magdecide ng upgrade now that I'm more aware of the technology. Back when I got the 1610 I was just going back into HT so the choice was easier (ignorance is bliss).
Now that I'm a bit smarter I know my needs.
- Sound must be top notch BUT not at the expense of clarity at Low Volumes (I watch movies more than Music).
I'll probably upgrade when I see Airplay fully implemented the way it should be because I have lots of Apple products in my household (mac, ipad, iphone, ipod touch). For now it seems Pioneer leads in this area but I can't get a AVR without Audyssey. Without Audyssey I had to constantly have the remote in my hand lest biglang mag-boom yung bahay sa lakas ng tunog during action sequences mas lalo na at night when I am watching.
