check the specs, audition where possible....visit dealers and hear for yourself......check who offers the best price for any of these models...you can also look at Yamaha Aventage series.....

If you are more inclined towards music then definitely go with Marantz. I have recently upgraded from Denon to Marantz av receiver and found that Marantz is more subtle and insightful . Vocals are bold and little forward compare to my Denon. My Denon is five years old. How current generation Denon sounds I have no idea but seems to be more powerful as per online reviews. Audition is the best option to judge current generation of avr.

Better to stick to Denon x 3500 (7.2 channel)series or the recent one x3600 (9.2 channel) if u slightly increase your budget .You will be benefited with more power , refinement and better room calibration (Audyssey MutiEQ XT32)

I went with the Denon x1600h after auditioning offerings from marantz and Yamaha, the sound is much warmer on x1600h compared to x1000 I had , with marantz i dont know why the sound was more bright than warm , maybe it's just my ears , also picked up elac debut s8.2 sub woofer to turn stereo to 2.1 and I definitely feel the punch in acoustic tunes and movies
