I'm really racking my brain on this one. Short and quick, which one would you choose if they were the only two available? It's definitely between one or the other for me but I can't decide. When I choose one I will post a thorough review here. Thanks, gang!

    I think the Denon has a better/newer auto calibration which works better than the one the Onkyo has.

    **edit** looks like they both use the same one, so ignore above comment

    Can you describe "better?" I was kind of leaning towards the Onkyo because of their reputation for stronger power. Their amplifiers seem to consistently get solid reviews.

    I edited my comment to say they both use the same auto cal, so thats a wash.

    The Onkyo is 7.2 v the 1910 7.1. So if your planning running dual subs the Onkyo will do a better job of EQing them without having to do much work on your end besides the redo the auto calibration

    Actually, with the Onkyo I was thinking that I could use the second sub out for the bass shakers. I temporarily disconnected them because we just got a new couch set but they will be re-hooked up once I get a new receiver. Once you try those things it's hard to watch loud movies without them :)
