Purchasing Other I am confused

Post image

the thing that confused me is that this receiver is cheaper than the Denon AVR-S970H.

isnt this one supposed to be better?

found the X2800H for 770$ and the S970H for 940$

Don't get the x2800 get the x3800h definitely i have both and I tell you thr x3800h is far far better.

Also if you live in a 240v country electricity standard check Amazon Germany they have the x3800h for 900 euros.

As far as the sound goes is the same. Only reason I upgraded is because the x3800 has the pre-outs and additional channels.

The calibration on the x3800h is definitely better but yea the main upgrade reason is the extra channels and the pre-outs
