Any Clearance on older AV Receivers to replace Denon 2312? Possibly Pioneer LX303

    Good Morning folks. Ive decided, now that Im starting to get a little time back to myself, that my Receiver needs an upgrade. As stated I have a Denon2312, a decent machine in its day. This is paired to a B&W 600 Series 6.1 setup with Floor Standers. Ive always felt the Denon needed to work hard, but still did an ok job. I suppose a like for like replacement might be the 2600H, but I think I’d rather step up and maybe look at the 3500H (if any left in stock), but also the Pioneer LX303 might be a good fit. The 303 seems to sit in between the Denon 2600 and 35/3600, is that correct? Also, the ‘works with Sonos’ is very appealing, and 4K is a must, its connecting to a Panny 65” FZ Oled. You might let me know your best price on the 303 please for a 2 decade old customer, and/or if you have anything else similar lying around that might be of interest. Thanks a mill..

    Hi SmithySeller.

    Unfortunately at the minute I don't have any older models of AV receivers here at the store.
    Any older versions would have sold out once the range was discontinued.

    The Pioneer 303 is not a bad receiver at all.
    Currently priced at £499. I have very little movement on its price but could squeeze it down to £485.

    The 2600 is a fantastic receiver and would be the one to go for without breaking the bank.
    It retails at £549 but I could offer a deal on one of these to you at £499
    The 2600 would not be a like for like to your 2312 but would be far superior as technology has came along way from 2012 when the 2312 was released.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks Kenny. The Denon doesnt appeal to me. I might even have a think about the next tier up. Thanks..

    Hi SmithySeller.

    There is a great deal on the Yamaha RXA880 which would be in the higher range currently priced at 879 Euro. This retails at £899 sterling.

    The next Denon up is the AVRX3600 coming in at £999 or 1049 Euro. So again a very good Euro price compared to the sterling retail.
