I owned this Denon 5805CI receiver. It was a beast.

Really! ...All 97 pounds of it! ...And almost a foot high!
P.S. Mike, you quoted me before I finalized my post.
The first picture on top is the AVR-5805. Then came the AVR-5805MkII, and finally the AVR-5805CI (bottom picture), which added three more connectors (2 more HDMI inputs and XM radio) and few more features.
The net weight is 97 pounds, and the exact height is 11 1/8". ...And 21 1/4" deep.

Yep, it is pretty loaded too. ...But all for "vintage" audio/video gear. ...No HDMI, no USB, no Ethernet, no HD r.a.d.i.o. of any kind, no nothing else from the year 2013.
* I still have (somewhere in this vast land of the unknown) a Pioneer VSX-9300S; the first ever A/V receiver with a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, but sans the Center channel power amp (I had to buy a separate stereo amp for that; a Denon that I was using to biamp my center speaker at the time, back in 1988).
- Mosfet transistors (smooth), 150 watts (RMS) per front L & R channel (8 Ohms), 225 watts into 4 Ohms (measured proven).
I remember it providing good bass to my speakers, and with a good overall sound. And it never shut down (but I blew few tweeters, because I added a Graphic equalizer; a good Nikko one). ...No more graphic EQs in my life. ...My tweeters were over $200 a piece and I blew at least four of them with that EQ. ...Hey, that's how we learn.
I like Pioneer as a brand (Elite, Kuro, etc.), as they have always been innovative and revolutionary in the course of their lifetime, and still are.
It's a solid Japanese (North American) brand, without much breakdowns. ...Not perfect all the way (some poor implementation in some of their passed products), but still making good stuff (speakers, newer A/V receivers) overall.
I also like Yamaha, and Marantz/Denon, and Onkyo/Integra. ...On the Japanese side.
*** That Denon AVR-5805 was the biggest and baddest A/V receiver of them all though. ...Also the most expensive one (in its CI version), ever! ...Yamaha had few top guns too. ...The Z series.
Arcam, Cambridge, Rotel, (Bryston?), McIntosh, Lexicon, Magnum Dynalab; they all made good sounding receivers as well.
What a life? ...Our audio history life.
