ALIVE AGAIN!/now OOS Smoking! Yamaha Aventage A3000 $899

[shortylickens]

For 899 I'd want a Yamaha ATV.
Too much for an amp. Even a nice one.

how is the sound on this or equivalent Denon compared to high end Onkyo receivers like the TX-SR876?

Any well designed solid state amp will sound the same as another when they are outputting the same power to the same speakers using the same processing.

The RX A3000 is not an amp. It's a pre-pro receiver.

Only if running in straight mode with no processing.

i guess it depends on how you define terms but to me Pre-Pro means you can't use it alone as in it has no amp section. the RX-A3000 has an amp section, but its not a stand alone amp, so its classified as an AVR, IMO sounds warmer and clearer then my Denon, however its not a good comparison because the Yamaha is a much higher end unit then the Denon 1910 better DACs and internals
