I think that is a great price to be honest, although I haven't used or heard the X3800. I have a 3600 and think it is brilliant value for money, I have not had one issue with it so far. If I was looking for a new AVR I would definitely be going for the 3800, especially at that price.I haven't read the whole thread but despite that the unit doesn't measure great in comparison with the introduction price (you should get more for that money). The price is much lower now.
Payed €700 for a X2700h (no hdmi bug model) a year ago and doubting to upgrade to a x3800h for better Audyssey and the possibility of Dirac.
The price of the X3800h dropped from €1699 to €950.
So it sounds like a good deal for me where I use it just in my living room.
What do you guys think of the price in comparison with the performance of the x3800h.
See the post previous to yours.Hi there,
I was supposed to go for a second hand X4700H but my seller decided to give it to someone else... The X3800H seems to be on my list of interests now then.
Any good deal in Europe?
Thanks,
D.

Are you not happy with your 2700?
I didn't realise the x2700 didn't have Audyssey MultiEQ XT32. That does give you a lot more options to tailor the sound to your taste. Considering the difference in price between your x2700 and the x3800 it does seem to be really good value.Yes i am happy with my x2700h. But i want to upgrade to Audyssey MultiEQ XT32 or Dirac.
Also the possibility to redirect specific speakers to another amp is a welcome feature. Another option is to be happy with it for another 1-2 years, when the new Denon receivers are out and dropped in price a little bit.
@OpticonPrime probably means refurbished open box units. 1200 euro is where it's at in the benelux for new units from what i knowWhere did you see x3800h for 950 eur? Lowest I see is 1350 eur.

Most likely not. DLBC will be an upgrade costing marginally more than the price difference between these two options. Similar to the current situation where an upgrade from the limited bandwidth to full bandwidth version is 10 $ / € more expensive than the full bandwidth standalone.To get the full Dirac experience for multi subs next year I'll be looking at:
Room Correction Full Bandwidth $349 USD
Bass Control Multi Sub $499 USD (assuming the price remains consistent)
So effectively an extra $848 USD?
Correct if you buy the two as separate products. Packaged together it is around $50 cheaper. Here is a screenshot from the Massimo Consumer Training:Hey guys,
just want to get this straight price wise.

why not? These are the exact prices people now pay if they have an AVR that already supports it.Most likely not.
This is insane... I said it before and I'll say it again, dont let DIRAC be the showstopper when purchasing an AVR... and if it is, consider a model that allready has this, atleast the "starting package"...Correct if you buy the two as separate products. Packaged together it is around $50 cheaper. Here is a screenshot from the Massimo Consumer Training:

LOL!
I literally let out a gut laugh at that chart.
We acknowledge that Dirac are the industry leaders but like how Mercedes are the automotive industry leaders (sort of???) then these guys will try to leverage piecemeal whatever cruft they are selling... and so Mercedes will sell you park assist and advanced acceleration for a fee...
