Denon 3805, muddy voices.
I don't have a 3805 but my 3803 and many oher Denon's that I've heard seem to be a bit thin on male voices. I don't know that I would call it "muddy", though. I don't think it's your speakers. I noticed a huge improvement using the analog connecti... 
Help in deciding a processor preamp
In your price range I would seriously consider the Anthem AVM 20. With the new AVM30 out now the prices on the 20 will be comming down. Truly a fantastic processor. 
Advice on Home Theatre components...
Aesculapius,Check out Exertfluffer's last 200 or so threads and you will see that in about half of them he brags about where he's worked, what he's sold (which is everything under the sun), how many systems he's installed or helped install (he cla... 
Pro amps
Yea, I think you are all right. I think the main draw to these amps is that you can get 500 wpc x2 for $585.00 on ebay. Forget the sound, that's a lot of power for not a lot of $$$$. I guess any 500 wpc amp for $585.00 would sound great! 
Pro amps
Thanks for your input. Elevick, I'm not really interested in getting one, I was just interested in everyones input about using one for home theater purposes. In other words, what is all the rave about? I'm tellin' ya, these guys will not part with... 
Pro amps
Slappy, no they're not digital but that brings up another point. The Carver Pro ZR series amps are digital. Anybody ever hear one of these? 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Wow! nobody's mentioned Russ Freeman from the Rippingtons. 
What sub do "U" use ?
Def Tech PF15 TL+. 
Harman Kardon AVR vs. Yamaha RX-V2400 ??
I would go with the HK simply because they are generally a high current design and let's face it, it's the amp section that is the weak link in any receiver. Don't take what Exertfluffer says with a grain of salt. He might be up on separates but w... 
Denon 2803 vs 3803
Congratulations on all your experience and accomplishments, Exertfluffer, you are indeed, a better man than I!! 
Denon 2803 vs 3803
Wow, Exertfluffer!! Nobody really wanted to offend you but you are still obviously living the old school theory of receivers vs. separates. The old school being that, yes, receivers WERE a very poor compromise compared to separates. Today’s top sh... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Why does this thread have so many posts? 
Denon 2803 vs 3803
Okii, I would go with the 3803 and then later on down the raod, add a 5 or 7 channel amp. Years ago I would have agreed with exertfluffer as separates being the way to go. A lot has changed since then and to be honest with you I don't think that t... 
Building from scratch... why not go 6.1 or 7.1?
Hey slappy!! Wanna hear a huge sound improvement in your system? Try moving your seating position 3 or more feet away from the back wall. The sound difference will amaze you. 
Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers
Yes, please explain what it is about this $399 Panasonic receiver that is so special that most of you are integtrating it into a mega thousand dollar system. $800 power cords? Dynaudio speakers? B&W 801's??? C'mon, am I missing something here?
