I just got the Polk RTi A7 speakers and a Csi A6 center ch, currently they are hooked up a Denon 2802 AVR, but I want to upgrade to a Denon 3311 AVR. What does the forum think? Good choice?? Btw I upgraded from a 15 year old Polk audio RM 3000 speaker set, with Boston Acoustics VR12 center ch.
Sytem List:

Denon AVR-2802
Polk Audio Rti A7
Polk Audio CSi A6
Polk Audio LS Fx Rears
Mono Price speaker wires/cables
Sony PS3
Xbox360
HTPC with Boxee

    What you will gain from getting the 3311 is room correction and HDMI connections. HD radio and a few other features. There is a slight difference in power but nothing you will notice.
    The 2311 would work too. You just loose the phono inputs and a few watts.
    Things are more like they are now than they ever will be!

    I've got that exact combo ...RTi A7s, CSi A6, Denon 3311. Great receiver, and has pre-outs if you want to add one or more power amps. Currently, only powering the surround speakers w/ the 3311, but still the Denon is a good match.
    ALL BOXED UP for a while until I save up for a new place :(

    I can relate. I have the 3 way VR-920, this CC is huge and it sounds great.
