Forced to update AVR.. Buying 1800H

[deep_blues]

My Marantz 1509 has unfortunately conked so planning to get the Denon 1800H as a replacement pairing it with my 3050i. Has anyone bought the 1800H or the 2800H & can you share approx prices (buying in Mumbai). Thanks in advance!
Would have considered stereo as well but unfortunately prices are pretty high currently. Hoping to get a good price for this with their newer models coming in!

Should be 50-60k at least that's the price in Bangalore. Call the dealers ask them for discount.

The official profx price is 1,04,900, but profx themselves will give you a 20% discount

Other dealers will give you a lot more discount.

If you are comfortable buying used, well maintained stereo amplifier would be great.
Stereo amplifiers are workhorses. Even properly repaired old stereo amplifiers are better than modern day Av receivers, in the long run.
Considering your 2 channel usage the stereo amplifier would be appropriate.

Why don't you consider a Topping, Eversolo, or SMSL 2 channel power amp?

The Topping DAC I have is superbly built and sounds stunning for the price.
