I think they look great either way. But on my speakers I leave the grills on. Who knows when someone might poke the drivers.

Good luck to you and your family. As someone who has seen multiple family members go through cancer, I know how difficult it is to be in such an environment.

What feature are you looking for? It has HDMI upscaling of all sources. DTS MA and True HD decoders. Preouts for amps. I read on AVS that the scaler seems pretty robust with tweakability and has the ability to turn on and off. If they can fix the HDMI issues the 247 and 347 had, I think...

Yea. I agree. Some of us can see Rainbows on DLPs. Others have no idea what that looks like but simply can't state that RBE doesn't exist. Perhaps some people can discern audible differences that others simply cannot. For example, comparing let's say a Harman Kardon receiver to a...

I would personally take the Marantz in a heartbeat. I know there's a thread about how you can't perceive a difference in sound between similarly powered amps, but to me Marantz has always sounded better than its equivalent in price.

I don't see the Faroudja logo anywhere on the 788. It also does not scale anything to HDMI. The $150 difference between the 688 and the 788 might be that the 788 processes HDMI audio. The 688 certainly does not.

WOW! The pre-pro looks great. Marantz should make the 700X and 800X receivers in that style. The curved sides look nice.

There has to be some differences. HK and Marantz receivers tend to have a warner, more rounded sound than most.

Honestly, if you want a better quality to your sound, get a good 2 channel amp and then biamp/biwire your speakers to it.

Canare's are fantastic wire. I bought it with the intention to bi-wire but then changed my mind.

I agree. I was very close to spending the extra and getting the 2808CI because of Audessey, Denon's remote, and obviously that mellow elasticy sound that Denon produces. But only 2 HDMI input was a huge drawback. I already had 2 HDMI devices and wanted options for the future. The 2809...

Having compared the 2808 with the 3808 side by side playing the Star Cruiser scene from Star Wars EP3, there is NO question in my mind that the 3808 possesses much better DACs and components. It's more defined and has a 'weight' to the sound that the 2808 can't do.

ventilation problems?

For 30, yea, 50, I don't know.

Does audioholics need a writer or Editorial assistant? If so, I'm your man!

Are folks refering to the black, platforms that are under the towers? Those I made myself. The speaker stands (ie, the 2 stands in the couch pic) are the no name stands I bought locally.

They seem to be no name on them and made of wood. Bought them used locally.

Nice setup! That lamp is such a great touch, but how does it stay up under extreme bass from that JL?

That Elite looks so seczy!

That's an awesome setup! I'm sort of in the same boat as you. I spent my money on my speakers and not the sub. So basically, my speakers outclass my sub. Eventually, I hope to get the AV123 MFW15 sub. I don't think there's a sub anywhere in this galaxy that comes close to the performance...
