Or Onkyo TX-SR875 (£1000), one of our 2007 Award winners. And we've just reviewed the Marantz SR8002 (£1300), which you can read about here.

As for speakers, with an amp of the Denon, Onkyo or Marantz's calibre you might need to up the budget. I'd go for a full-size package such as the Monitor Audio Silver RS1 AV (£1650) or RS6 AV (£1900). If they're too much, there's the Bronze BR2 package at £880 or the Tannoy Mercury F1 Custom at £799.

Denon 2808 is much cheaper than Yamaha RX-V1800 and I don't think is as good as RX-V1800. denon has only 2 hdmi inputs and different things which make it chaper and worse than RX-V1800. I think🙂 So are them tannoy mercury f1 speakers good enough for yamaha RX-V1800 ??? cause it's probably not worth to buy good amplifier for average speakers... what do you think are they good?
