Hi all!

I'm not technically minded so the specs on these two model dont mean sh*t to me! =( I am having a hard time deciding which of these 2 revievers to buy. I know the AVR1803 is not released yet, so should I wait for the AVR1803 or just buy the AVR2802? How much different are the two models?

Please help!
Will

Denon AVR-5803:

I'd wait 2803 if i were you. You get the same stuff for the same price that 2802 is going to sell for.

1803 does not pump up enough watt for me. The lowest model i'd go is the 3800 series which is 110 watts.

what's the latest on these models? when will the distributors bring them in? mukhang sulit yung 1803

mdman · « **Reply #35 on:** Sep 20, 2002 at 01:10 PM »

i'm planing to buy the 1602, but i heard meron na 1603, any news on when this model be available here?

Check this out guys....out comes the hot, new Denon AVR1803 (A/V receiver) ...sighted on display at the Home Theater

I think this new model, part of Denon's '03' AVR line, was just released recently along with the new AVR1603. And its a 6.1 receiver already

Here's some detailed specs on the new AVR1803:

I think stocks are just limited ...you may call Mr Sonny Tuazon of the Home Theater for other details/pricing

Ciao

greatbop · « **Reply #37 on:** Oct 01, 2002 at 01:45 AM »

err.. that's based in LA, right? 1803's and 2803's been long in display na in Vancouver... since like a month ago pa..

and they're not 'limited quantities."

greatbop · « **Reply #38 on:** Oct 01, 2002 at 01:55 AM »

or is that in Manila?

what's the ph number if ever...

greatbop · « **Reply #39 on:** Oct 01, 2002 at 02:21 AM »

another cool feature that 1803 has is a firewire input.. it'll be used in the future for DVD-As and SACDs... it's able to carry more bandwidth than an optical cable.

jay_cee_em · « **Reply #40 on:** Oct 01, 2002 at 11:16 AM »

Hi greatbop

Sorry, I think my previous post was not clear enough - The Home Theater is a local shop (Its owned by another PinoyDVD member - stuazon (Mr. Sonny Tuazon))

You may call the shop (8125235) or text Sonny himself 0917 2516546.

Ciao !

greatbop · « **Reply #41 on:** Oct 01, 2002 at 01:32 PM »

ic.. anong speakers brands ang carry nila?

as i've posted before. my dad's upgrading his hometheater sa manila.. kaya i'm just asking these qs.

freaking energy and paradigms are so damned overpriced sa manila. Paano kasi.. kokonting store lang ang nagbebenta..

jay_cee_em · « **Reply #42 on:** Oct 02, 2002 at 03:17 PM »

Hey greatbop,

I think they carry various ranges of Mission and B&W speakers, plus some other brands, I think JMLabs.

Try to ring the Home Theater and check out whats in store.

Happy hunting!

greatbop · « **Reply #43 on:** Oct 02, 2002 at 04:35 PM »

LoL... here's like the latest. I gave my dad yung ph. number ng home theater. he just called them right now..

tinawagan ako ngayon 1.30 am... sabi sa akin.. they do have one. it's 29t (which is just about right for the msrp of 500 usd). tapos ofcourse pwede pang tawaran..

greatbop · « **Reply #44 on:** Oct 02, 2002 at 05:12 PM »

My dad's like literally going there now this minute. kaso kulang info nya though. so ginawa ko's called up yung secretary tapos pinatanong ko sa kanya kung anong available nila speakers and subs. will call her back in a few mins... tapos i guess i'll go from there.

it's past 2 am right now... nde ko naman gustong maloko papa ko though..

jay_cee_em · « **Reply #45 on:** Oct 02, 2002 at 05:13 PM »

That's great to hear greatbop

I have not met anyone yet who owns the 1803 here...your Dad could be the first

I used to own a 1602 and have been quite satisfied with it

Good Luck

greatbop · « **Reply #46 on:** Oct 02, 2002 at 06:07 PM »

Heh... yeah.. pareho naman ang presyo sa 1802s.. why not might as well get the new model, diba!? 6.1, dts 96/whatever, firewire input, component switching... all those for the same price as last year's. (well roughly)..

anyway,.. here's what they carry..

Speakers:

BM
Mission
JMLabs
Mirage <~~ W00t canadian brand!

Subs:
BW
Mission
Velodyne

i still can't sleep e.. 3am na.. ganun kasi ako eh. nde na ako nakakatulog after ginising ako..

texted my dad na kung anong tatanong nyan center channels and subs..

i just told him to ask M5cs and center channel nung satellite system ng Mirage (AVS 100) i hink. Velodyne CHT 8/ 10/ 12s,,,

honestly. i haven't heard these speakers before.. I've heard athenas and energy - pero not their brother - mirage. Missions.. shortly listened too them.. and velodyne.. all i know about those... good worth of mouth lang.

ah hell... temporary lang naman to eh...

let's just hope na yung dependability nung mga receivers hasn't changed kahit na they're now just manufactured in china....

i think yun ang primary reason why they're able to stuff so much new stuff for so little eh...

greatbop · « **Reply #49 on:** Oct 06, 2002 at 01:22 PM »

1803's made in Korea,,,

1603's made in China

5803 is still made in Japan.. but only lotto winners will even consider the product... LoL

anyway... here's what's my dad is gonna end up buying from The Home Theater...

Mission m7c2 for center channels == 9,300
Denon 1803 == 27,500
speaker stand == 2k..

Energy kasi costs twice as much sa manila compared here in Canada eh. And missions acctually costs a tad less dyan kaysa sa canada.

Which i think explains why missions sell alot in there.

Total is around 40K...

Tapos magpapadala nalang ako ng either 10" ng Energy or Paradigm (s10.2 or PDR 10) approx 17k php each. Tapos padalhan ko narin ng a few dvds.. Maybe beauty and the beast and LoTR (2.35:1)... lol

Pan and Scan is teh devil!

Aylwin · « **Reply #50 on:** Oct 06, 2002 at 02:07 PM »

greatbop,

I totally agree with you about the 5803.

Besides, why would anyone with 4K dollars to spend get a receiver instead of separates?

And yes, Pan & Scam is the devil!

greatbop · « **Reply #51 on:** Oct 06, 2002 at 02:19 PM »

well.. it still is useful for 6.1/ 7.1 setup, diba? and kailangan ng receiver if gagamit ka ng DVD-A/ SACD..

Aylwin · « **Reply #52 on:** Oct 06, 2002 at 04:43 PM »

Well, hindi ko naman "kailangan" ng receiver for 6.1/7.1 or DVD-A/SACD. Pwede pa rin yun kung naka separates ka, diba? Para sa akin ang advantage lang ng receiver over separates ay mas compact at generally cheaper ang reciever. Pero if you go towards higher end I don't see any reason to spend 4K on a reciever when you can use the money to buy separates.

greatbop · « **Reply #53 on:** Oct 07, 2002 at 12:23 AM »

I thought separates cannot decode dd/ dts signals though?

Aylwin · « **Reply #54 on:** Oct 07, 2002 at 01:40 AM »

Sure they can. Most pre/pros can do it nowadays. Multiple digital inputs, fancy DACs, DD-EX, DTS-ES, DPL-II, various proprietary DSP modes, 5.1 analog bypass input (even 7.1 sometimes), high quality preamp section, up to 7.1 preouts, etc.

There are many good manufacturers too. You can start from Rotel (RSP-1066, for example) and work your way up to the Lexicon MC-12 which, IMHO, is one of the best money can buy.

greatbop · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 07, 2002 at 01:42 AM »

well, my bad then. i know squat about high end stuff...

Aylwin · « **Reply #56 on:** Oct 07, 2002 at 01:47 AM »

Check out the Recommended HT Separates thread. There are quite a few mentioned there.

Speaking of which, do you know how to post a link to another thread?

By the way, I find it fun to read and try to know more about the higher end stuff even if I have no intention to buy them. I mean, you never know... one day I could win the lottery or something...

jojitb · « **Reply #57 on:** Oct 11, 2002 at 10:56 AM »

any info kung saan pinakamura ang 1803? Mga magkano na ba ito ngayon?
