... and there is a HUGE improvement in sound. I was on the fence between upgrading receivers or buying an amp. I ended up choosing to upgrade my receiver from a 1905 to a 3805 because the 3805 was only $600. The improvement in sound is unbelievable. I feel my RTi 10s are finally sounding great!!

What should I do with my Denon 1905?

    The Denon 1905 is "not the best" receiver for RTi speakers. Cheap receiver...work great with, for example, Monitor series. Good decision to upgrade and take the 3805. Congratulations and enjoy it. :)

    I can't get over the improvement in sound upgrading from the 1905 to the 3805. Music sounds great and very detailed... Speakers could not sound any better!!! It sounded like the music was in my living room!!
