    Denon 3805 and 4 ohm speakers

    Their tech person is likely saying this for liability purposes since the receiver doesn't have UL certification for 4 ohms or that dreaded impedance switch. Most reasonably efficient 4 ohm loads wont be a problem for this receiver. In this receiver's price class it has one of the most...

    Denon 3805 and 4 ohm speakers

    Hmm I don't see a post from a Denon tech anywhere in that thread. Oddly enough, Denon was using 4 ohm speakers in a demo they did on the 3805 when it first came out. Clint used 4 ohm speakers for nearly a year on the 3805 without any issues. You may wish to recheck your sources.

    Post Your Home Theater Here!

    nice setup but you should consider the following: moving the chairs that are blocking the front speakers. your side channels are in null of main listening position. I recommend moving them 2-3 feet behind the main listening position. you have very high ceilings, wood floors and very little...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    Again it deals mostly with sub/sat systems and actually lowering the pre conidtioning requirement for amplifiers since they were deemed too harsh: towards the end of the proposal, they very vaguely discuss multi channel amplifiers which I think they are still referring to sub/sat...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    First off its an FTC NOT FCC PROPOSAL NOT A RULING. Did you even bother to read it? This PROPOSAL deals mostly with sub/sat systems and computer speakers and how they should be rated. http://www.ftc.gov/os/1998/07/63FR37237.pdf If you don't see why the ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN test is a...

    Bowflex Users?

    Thats because a lot of powerlifters lift only very heavy, very low repetitions, with alot of rest and also don't watch their diet. One of the most effective ways to fat loss is heigh intensity weight training while keeping in your target heart rate zone for 30min to 1 hr. Both myself and Hugo...

    oh and i forgot to mention 2 HDMI cables. Yea I was thinking about having them build a wooden frontpanel that protrudes slighly but also has ability to be readily opened incase I need to make changes or fix a faulty termination. In any event, my electrical subcontractor told me they could run...
